You can run regular flat tappets if you want to, BTDT. In fact, if you look into it the 87 318 2bbl (for example) came with a roller cam, whereas the 87 318 4bbl cam with a flat tappet cam, same block though. Other things are different but not the block. Now you CANNOT run an OEM roller lifter in a non-roller block, but that's another issue. You will also need to run the flat tappet pushrods. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
