    Comes back to a 1994 Lincoln/Mercury truck. Proabably a Mercury Mountaineer.

    No flat tappet cams after 1992 in any Ford. All were roller.

    so if no blocks after 92 cam with flat tappet cams ,then why is my block stamped F4 which i thought would be a 94 block ,it doesnt have the bosses for a roller cam so i know it neve came with one .im lost because some you non after 92 and some people on here say different,anyways im dealing with the fact that i have a flat tappet engine ,they can be made to be strong as well.Later if i do a build up ill try the mew voo doo cams or one of the comp cams extreme i heard they both have strong flat tappets

    According to Ford, no flat tappet cams were used in production 302's after the 91 model year. Where on your block did you find "F4" cast ? The 351's had flat tappet cams until sometime in the 95 M/Y.
