The stock rockers are 1.7 and are fine for stock applications. What are you looking to get out of the rockers alone?

Are these 241's ported? If not, it'd be a HUGE waste of time and effort to swap them onto your car. It would gain nothing in power.

Stock rockers wil be fine. If you're really worried about them then just send them in to Harland Sharp and have them rebuilt.

Dont waste your time installing those heads...Have them ported and maybe milled once you decide on a cam. Swapping those heads will gain no power and will cost you time and money for parts. Plan out your cam now and have the heads ready for the cam.

As for rockers...I like the Yella Terra Ultralites, some have had problems though. Or as was said you could send your stockers to Harland Sharp.

1.8s or 1.85 like SLP sells will increase your lift but you will have to take that ratio into account when looking for a cam to be sure your lift isnt too much.

I would reuse your factory rockers if you have them. If not, throw a set of Harland Sharps or Yella Terras. I would recommend staying 1.7 on the ratio. There isn't just a huge power difference in going to a 1.8 rocker and your options for camshafts down the road are wide open sticking with the factory 1.7 ratio.

Unless there is something wrong with your heads on the car, I would probably wait for a little better head as well. You can always send those 241's off and have them ported and valvejobbed for a few hundred dollars. You are looking at a lot of work and money in gaskets for a handful of HP. Let me know if you are interested in having those heads ported and we'll see what we can do for you.
