There are many a flat tappet cam engines that have roller tip rockers - which is what you have indicated seeing replacing your valve cover gaskets.

I'm also curious why you had the intake "re plained" - I'm assuming that you mean milled - but for what reason?

I like the sound - but agree with others here that you'll need to dig a bit deeper and start providing some engine and head numbers to allow us to help you out.

Best,

i know that the rockers them selfs dont make it a roller motor. i was just stating that i saw the roller rockers when i took the valve covers off. i know that that in its self doesn't make it a roller motor but most of the time that indicates that someone went to the trouble of doing the rockers which usually means the lifters were done to. and as for the milling (i was just called it re plaining) it was because the clutch fan had failed and over heated the motor slightly prior to me buying it and because of the slight over heat there was a slight anti freeze leak between the intake and the block so i decided while fixing the clutch fan to replace the intake gasket and to mill the intake flat again just to make sure it didn't warp at all.
