Default roller rocker ?

im looking to buy a set of full roller rockers in the stock ratio to put on a new set of heads im getting so i dont have to reuse the oem ones i have with 60k on them.
im not looking for anything special i just want them to be full roller and stock ratio (i have an f14 cam) and not sap any hp and be able to run to 7k with them.
doesnt someone add rollers to new oem rockers?

I am panning on after the holidays running the Jessels on my car. MTI sells them there priced high but I guess you get what you pay for.

I don't believe the stocker can be modified to incorporate a roller on the tip. I am running the Cranes, which are full rollers. They also accelerate faster off the seat and will fit under stock center bolt valve covers without modifications. I looked at the Jesels and the others, but you have to modify the pushrod holes and do other modifications to get them to fit. The Cranes dropped right in.
