I installed the Cranes on mine. Based on my experience with these heads, the YT's shouldn't be a problem, it was only the stick rocker base and that was only due to then larger pads. If you have a very early set like I did, they have since milled the pads 0.100" closer to the valve cover pedestal. Just verify the wipe before you order pushrods. I am getting ready to swap to AFR's and the shims required for the AFR's were thicker than those provided by YT with the rockers.
Man, this is an old thread, but I still refer people to it from time to time.

This is an old thread. I dont care about problems other people have with these heads, and it's not even the question I asked. I asked what, if any information was available to help me with mounting my shaft style rockers to my Dart heads that I am currently running in my GTO with the stock rockers.

My problem is the heads are on the car now. I know I will have to pull at least one head and drop in a solid roller to correctly find the right pushrod length. I was just hopeing someone that has already done this on an LS with Dart heads & the Yella Terra rockers would already have this information and the shim height and keep me from pulling it apart to order parts, put it back together, then pull it back apart to install the parts.
