Solid Flat Tappet?

Just a question, are the Lifters in the 283 engines Solid Flat tappet? or is it possible they are Hydraulic Flat Tappet?

Why thank you, I figured I'd ask, just easier then pulling the lifters to look.

You can actually test it by removing the valve cover and pushing down on a rocker arm. You won't be able to collapse a solid one!
