They require Joe Gibbs racing oil to be used or the warrantee is voided. So, I bought a case and they put the oil in the crate. I appreciated that. And, I got to pick my valve covers - Cobra Le Mans in black.
If they didn't give you lash numbers, then it's almost certainly hydraulic. And it's getting to the point now where you have to beg on your knees to get a builder to put a solid flat tappet cam in anymore. But a quick email to the builder just confirming that it is indeed a hydraulic cam build would be in order.
