oh man... NO they are NOT all the same.

Older blocks were flat-tappet non-roller cam blocks.

The blocks found in the 5.0l Mustangs are Roller-cam blocks.

you might try searching as there are a few posts about this already. I actually needed the same info last year. It's a confusing mess, and I can't remember exactly all the details, so I'm not going to supply bad information.

Do you know what year the 302 changed to the roller cam block?

Was it just the Mustangs that had a roller cam block?
