87 sbc v8 with TBI is definitely not from a passenger car; cars with v8 got TBI first in 1989 model year (example: Caprice). So if it's really an 87 sbc engine with TBI, then it's a truck engine and it will have a flat tappet cam (trucks didn't get roller cam until 1996 model year). I don't remember the break point (yearwise) for self-aligning rocker arms so you'll have to look under the valve cover for guide plates.
It would help to have an engine code (from the VIN), or the block casting number, and head casting numbers.Last edited by res ipsa; 10-31-2005 at 02:29 PM.

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
