    300hp Cam 14088839 flat tappet or roller?

    Just picked up a take-out 839 from Sallee chev and am a bit confused as usual. I understand Chev has not used flat hydraulic tappet since the early 90's. Is this cam for flat tappet or does it require rollers...

    thanks

    It's flat tappet hydraulic. GM hasn't used a flat tappet cam in very many PRODUCTION engines since the early 90's. However, this cam dates back well before then. Also, while they have not used a flat tappet cam in PRODUCTION engines, they've used LOTS of them in SERVICE engines, continuing to this very day. That's where these cams come from.
