Roller tappets are an after-market performance upgrade. Powerflite Posted 2021-07-29 4:05 PM (#613889 - in reply to #613877) Subject: Re: Camshaft Expert 5K+ Posts: 9675 Location: So. Cal If you mean solid lifters or hydraulic, it should be solid. But yeah, all cams were flat tappet until around 1985. 58coupe Posted 2021-07-29 5:37 PM (#613892 - in reply to #613877) Subject: Re: Camshaft Expert Posts: 1740 Location: Alaska Not exactly correct Nathan. The 59 Dodge with the 326 used hydraulic lifters. Since this was a one year only engine, not sure any other poly A engine used them. You are correct that roller lifters were not used until 85.
