I went with the YT 1.7's on my AFR's. Note that I had to shim quite a bit to get an acceptable wipe. Not sure if you will need to do the same, but make sure you check it. Set up wipe first, then measure for pushrods. The YT's have much heavier shaft between the rockers and larger bearings. They are also lighter over the nose.
