are all 93-95 lightning 351w roller cams with gt-40 intake and heads?

i was looking on ebay at thoes years and i found that both trucks had the gt-40 tubular intake on it. if so i will hunt me down a motor to put in my mustang?
 
would be hard for a 93 model to have roller cam block
since they didnt start making roller cam blocks until 94?

food for thought...............

roller cam block will have serial number that start in F4 or higher
and you will see the holes in the valley to screw down the lifter
hold down spider.
 
I've seen an 89 van with a 351 that had a roller block, however it did not use a roller cam or lifters. May have been a freak thing, I don't know the history of the van to know if it ever recieved a different block, but I doubt it.

you can convert them or use those real expensive linked lifters

but a true from the factory (ie in a new car/truck ) roller
cam block didnt come out till 94.

No really, this was a roller block, I know the difference between the two. The valley holes were there and tapped, but no spider. The places for the dogbones were flat, but the dogbones weren't there. It was the wierdest thing.
