lol your right. I was thinking stock heads wth press in studs(don't ask me why. I got a 2 week old baby and no sleep)

Ow and larger studs will cause less deflection with bigger cams and springs!

You're correct for the iron headed LT1s- press in studs and straight plug ports. Have a baby due in 3 weeks myself, so getting ready for no sleep!

Correct- if you want to run guideplates (have to with non self-aligning rockers) you'll want to get the 1.90" length, IIRC. The 1.75" won't have the bottom thread depth to make up for the thickness of the guideplates (1/8" thick, about .125" and difference on the stud of .15"). Research this before you buy so you have a complete mental picture of what you're changing in rocker alignment and geometry...
