Default Need Help On 383 Build

i have a 1985 silverado short box 1500 with a 350 motor and 700r4 trans. i plan on using it for offroad racing.

my current motor setup is 383 stroker eagle comp rotating assembly, dart iron eagle top end kit, holley truck avenger 770cfm carb, true duals with pacesetter headers,

I was wondering whether this has roller rockers and if it doesn't i would like a parts list of what is needed to convert it into a roller rocker motor. I plan on putting a cam in and am goin to do the rockers at the same time.

if you are referring to the 350 in your truck as having roller rockers-- IT DOES NOT have roller rockers -- if the engine is the original 1985 engine - just a set of small block
1.5 ratio 3/8 stud rockers will work
