GM guideplates are not hardened (at least not anymore).

You are better off with Trick Flow or Isky adjustables.

Many guys complain about Pro Mags and Crane Golds being so noisey. I see this on every of the 8 or so Forums I visit.

Scorpions are quiet as stock and I have them on my 388 LT1 and recently installed a set on my son's 96 LT1 Vette engine.

If you don't mind the noise, then go for it.

ummm on mine they sound like an out of adjustment rocker kinda. id go with isky guide. since LT1 head excepts a screw in 7/16 stud there is no reason not to go with a 7/16 arp stud and a comp cam pro mag 1305-16. i made the mistake of not know i could go 7/16 its the same price so just go stronger

comp pro mag 1.6 rr #1305-16
7/16 ARP studs #134-7103
Trickflow Guide Plates #30400623-8
i used Trickflow hardened pushrods. These i can not give you a part number for due to my heads being milled and .026 gaskets so my length is different

optional parts if needed:
LS7 lifters (now OEM replacement for LT1) #12499225
Comp pushrod check tool #7702-1

Not bad at all. If I recall it's no worse than stock as long as the valvetrain is adjusted properly. There should be absolutely no tapping. It's more like a dull whir and should sound like a well oiled sewing machine.
