Re: Lightning and 95 R Blocks
Probably the reason wy Ford did not put the roller cam into the R engine is that it would have been a waste of their money.
Most cars (if used for their original purpose) would have had a custom cam installed before it would have ever been on the track. Also no real race engine would use a Ford style roller tappet anyhow, they would have used a more race driven style tappet with a cross bar.

There's no way Ford put a flat tappet cam in the '95 Cobra R after running roller cams for so long.

It doesn't make sense to me either, I thought a roller cam* is something that you would want in a sustained RPM race motor. One magazine says they were roller cams, but the guys who have rebuilt their motors, and FRPP catalog say they are flat tappet. Although they have the provisions to run the roller stuff. Flat Tappet = Has no roller components. The bottom of the lifter is "flat". Roller Cam = The bottom of the lifter has a "roller" that rides on the lobe.
