Crane Cams makes a retrofit roller cam set up for non roller blocks. Unless you're racing or running a TPI set up you don't really need to go to the expense of a roller.
The main reasons for a roller set up is less friction=more hp.Plus the rollers on a high lift cam are less noisey so that it doesn't set off the knock sensor and retard the ignition timing=more hp.

Unfortunately no....The cam will physically fit, but the '85 block is missing the provisions needed to hold the roller lifters in place.
Most OEM roller engines use what called a "spider" that holds down the "dogbones" which in turn keep the lifters from spinning. The "spider" is typical bolted down to the lifter valley, and the '85 block will not have bolt locations...

No , the 85 block doesn't have long lifter bores . Look at your local salvage yard or ebay for a roller block , you will be glad you did . You can gain 30+ HP by not losing it to friction with the flat lifters.

It lots heavy sufficient. there's a concern with the transmission. The 350 is a greater ideal trans than the metric. Have a trans save look it over. If it won't bypass into any kit, opposite, power, any, then you truly've a linkage concern. If it is going into kit yet won't flow then between the grasp packs is burned up. Is the fluid sparkling and on the right point? sturdy luck.
