Todd, I've got the Hi-Tech Stainless on mine too. With as much valve train and motor issues as you've had over the last 400 years or so it might be worth a little extra insurance.

Depends on the valve stem height. I had valves .100 longer and they cleared 1.56's. Stock stem height may not clear 1.55's.

7/16" Chromemoly Comp Pro Magnums are on order from a sponsor here. I already have a set of ARP rocker studs on the shelf.

Thanks for stopping by last night, Kyle and Tony.

We'll get Moe to tune the Blue Beast and then let's all hit the track and have some fun.

Good point. My 7/16" Comp rockers just showed up. I'll find out soon.

comp 918s, promag 7/16, trick flow pushrods and guideplates.
Cut the tabs on the covers and everything works fine.
