LT1 rocker arms and pushrods?????
well..... going with an LME built 396 short block and a lloyd elliott head/cam/inake package with a set of TFS 21* heads and single plane EFI intake and a pretty large cam. shifting at about 7200rpms......
WTF...
Anyway, go with a set of non self-aligning 1.6 Comp Pro Mags or Ultra Pro Mags with Trick Flow hardened guideplates and pushrods, unless Lloyd recommends something else.

If you do end up with stud-mount rockers, check the geometry before you order new studs or pushrods.
I ended up needing 2.100" studs instead of the stock 1.7xx" and 7.500" pushrods on my Dart heads because I ran +.100" valve stems.
You might also want to consider a Jesel shaft-mount setup.
HP gains are minimal over stud-mounts, but they're much easier to set up properly
and the cost is only slightly higher if you don't already have the studs, guides, pushrods and rockers.
I wish I'd done mine in the first place. Oh well, next time....

That's what I've been running. (per Lloyd's advice)

However, I'm running the Promags on AI heads not Lloyds....but I've been thinking really hard about switching to Jesels for a while now/
