The standard valve were REV, and there not hard to get. But not a stock LS1 length
both those rockers work, sometimes you have to shim the stands, and sometimes mill them to have the right sweep.
check the coolant and steam holes to the HG your gona use. Some were blocked on some of those casting. A lot of cars ran fine with them half lining up, but you can redrill them or slot them to match your HG and block. Its a good casting, people have gone 8.6 NA on them.

ya I don't think your gona find any shelf, and being a custom length no PN, there custom but you can get them. There is a set on here right now for dirt cheap ($120 shipped) form Christin in FL with red c5 that made 511whp with a set and streetsweeper cam years ago, Miami9???? on here. But they are more for a 4.06+ bore
