Just a little update for everyone. I actually had a chance to talk with my dad about the truck. Turns out, the motor is out of a 90 something van. He said it has the 1-piece seal so the two of us came to the consensus that it is most likely in fact a roller block. Which puts a smile on my face to say the least :) That also means that I can't say for sure what kind of miles are on the motor (still going to run the leakdown). So that'll save me a few dollars for sure, not having to buy a retro-fit and may be able to re-use the lifters that are in it. I also found out my dad has a 2400 stall Torque converter in the shed so I don't have to buy one. On another note, just thought I share that I have a fresh set of wheels on the way that should be here early next week. :) About 5 weeks til this thing is out and waking the dead with its rumble :)
Pretty easy to pull the dizzy and flashlight down the dizzy hole to see if it has rollers.
