How many miles on the engine? If mileage is high, say 50,000 or so, use Comp 850 lifters. I just changed my liftersfor the first time at 78,000. Keep the OEM rockers.

Just change the lifters, there are too many other places you can put your money and make a real HP difference.

When you have it apart, install a March under drive pulley, good for 8-10 hp. The reason for the March pulley over others is that it also is a harmonic balancer.

Change the lifters and leave the stock rockers alone. It seems the incidents of needle bearings in the oil are pretty rare these days utilizing stock rockers. I went with the Yella Terra 1.7's and while they are a very nice piece I really didn't need them at the time and probably would not buy them again if I could do it over. I did notice the full roller setup did quiet down valvetrain noise quite a bit.
