Default '84 vette engine?

I'm thinking of buying an engine out of a '84 vette. The question I have does the '84 have a roller cam engine? This one does, at least the lifters are I guess, I've never actually seen a "roller motor" any help, thanks, by the way the asking price is $350 does that sound decent, I'm not sure that includes the heads or intake , they weren't on the engine when I saw it.

$350?? I would pass... it may be a real mess...

the 84's are not rollers... nor are the rockers... and the 84 had that not so nice crossfire intake.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't think that was the original engine, I own an '86 no rollers anywhere. I think '87 they just started with the roller tip rockers, do you know when they started giving the vette a roller motor?

Actually they started with Hydraulic Roller Lifters, the only one that came with roller rockers was the LT4
