Default ETP Heads and proper rocker arms

So I am sure this has been beat to death but I have a set of 225 et performance heads that I am installing on a 416 cu LS3. Rocker arm selection has been a pain as I dont have 1000+ dollars to spend on rockers. I purchased a set of Harland Sharp rockers from Texas speed but my builder is having issues mounting them or making them work. Will they fit forsure? Does the stock rocker stand that came with the etp heads need to be machined? do the rockers just need to be shimmed? Any help -a link-maybe a picture would really help to make sure we dont screw things up. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Done many but made custom spacers on them all. Looked at them on a case by case basis and then made the right stand spacers and they have all worked great. Cary can tell you how much higher or thicker they are. You could measure the difference to see where to get them in the ball park. I don't have any of those stands anymore or I would measure for you and let you know.

I've done a few sets of them. YT rockers, mill the adapter for the stock rockers, that comes from ETP. Longer bolts for the rockers, and longer pushrods.

Are you against running stock rockers? All you need is the ETP stands and they bolt right on. Upgrade the trunions too and your good to go!
