Yes, those are the roller 351w blocks that started turning up in late 1993. Sounds like a you guys got a great deal.

Roller lifter cams are somewhat better than hydraulic lifters, slightly more efficient. Not a game changer, but better. Regardless, you got a screaming deal.
Source a power steering pump & bracket from a van with a serpentine 302 or 351. The truck PS pump is considered a POS. The vans ran a Saginaw pump, the bracket & pump is a direct swap for the truck PS pump & bracket.

Roller lifters can run a more concave cam and have less friction.
