Default L83 cam specs

Did the '84 engine(L83) come with a solid lifter cam or a roller cam?

Those two properties aren't mutually exclusive. There are solid lifter flat tappet cams, hydraulic lifter flat tappet cams, solid roller cams, and hydraulic roller cams. The L83 uses a hydraulic, flat tappet cam. No C4s came with solid lifters, flat or roller tappet. 1987 and up engines use hydraulic rollers.

RACE ON!!!

My FSM doesn't show durations, but it differs on the lifts. It shows the lobe lifts as:

Intake: .2733"
Exhaust: .2820"

Times the 1.5:1 rocker arm ratio, equal valve lifts of:

Intake: .40995" (.410")
Exhaust: .423"

RACE ON!!!
