The 215's are shaping up to be bad *** heads for a 346. There haven't been tons of results yet, but the flow numbers and dynos have been very promising.

Can you run stock rockers with these heads, or do they have to be aftermarket?

There hasn't been much said about this. Did you go with rollers on your original install, or did you add them later? Why won't the stock rockers work? This isn't a bash on TF or TEA, I ran TEA heads in the past with great results, and would probably go with Trick Flows if I bought heads. I would be running essentialy the same cam as you are, and stock rockers are fine with most other heads with that cam.

Out of the box they require rollers. If I'm not mistaken, TEA can machine the heads to accept stock rockers.

i had the #3 exhaust valve wear down because of running stock rockers on my trick flows 3 weeks ago

trick flow overnighted me rollers no charge overnighted my heads back to them (ohio from california 350$ each way) fixed them while they were moving shops. overnighed them back to me and now they are on the car and running great!

from my experience you will have no problem getting this resolved

What company offers a set of compatible roller rockers? I tried Jesel's website but they only have Ford applications listed for Trickflow.

I have the Jesel Sportsman rockers on my TrickFlow heads. Not many miles on them yet but they seem to be doing OK.
