Default Roller Rocker question...

I searched and couldn't quite find what I was looking for. I have the CC306 ( I know, I know) I do love it though. Anyways, I was going to do roller rockers as I have the stock rockers on now. My question is will 1.6 rockers and that cam work with the stock pistons? Is there any risk of valve/piston contact. I don't know what the max lift the stock heads/pistons will handle. Also what all is required? Just hardened push rods, NSA roller rockers and guide plates? There is no machine work involed correct? Thanks

You will be fine and theres nothing wrong with that cam at all. For that cam I would go the NSA route. Pick up some Comp Cams Pro-Mag NSA 1.6's (1305-16), some TFS Guideplates (30400623-8), ARP Studs (134-7103) and some TFS chromemoly pushrods. The length of the pushrods may or may not be the stock 7.200" so good to measure first.

And for the studs? Are the stock lt1 screw in 7/16?

going to 1.6 ratio will put more lift on the valve springs/valve train, I dont believe a 306 will affect piston clearance.
1.6 rr/ guide plates is a direct bolt on no mahcine work required.
Since you will have the pushrods out i would suggest swaping to hardened, and also check to see if your valve springs will handle the extra lift

I have new PAC springs. I am sure they will handle the lift. I believe they are good for 625 lift.

All LT1 studs are 7/16-14 on the bottom.

Stock studs are 3/8-24 on the top.

7/16 studs are 7/16-20 on the top.

Well that may have to wait. That is a little bit more money than I was thinking. That is somewhere around 550$. Versus a cheaper set with pushrods, guidplates, and studs for 380$. Anybody know anything about PEP roller rockers?
