Default Engine Question?
Hey Guys I was thinking of putting some LS7 heads on my LT1. Can I use LS2 rockers and push rods for this??

You have to use L99 rockers, the gen 2 L99 not the gen 4.

Just make sure you don't get over 10:1 compression or you will have to run race gas...

Also don't run that Ethanol crap it is VERY dirty...

For pushrods you can get some 1/4-20 readirod, a coupler nut and a couple jam nuts and make your own adjustable pushrods.

Often we forget we all had to start sometime and somewhere. Whether it was doing a simple search to answer common questions or catching a car on fire when welding in SFC's...

Make sure you use red loctite on all the lugnuts so your wheels don't fall off.
