Default LT1 stud, rocker arm and guideplate question.

I want to run guideplates on my LT1. Let's keep this simple.

I want to run 7/16" studs, 1.6rr's non-self adjusting and guideplates.

Link for studs
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/arp-134-7103

Link for Guideplates
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/tf...make/chevrolet

Will these parts work on an LT1? I have 5/16" chromoly pushrods already.
Also can I look up rocker arms for a standard sbc in 7/16" (Narrow body of course) and use those? I don't seem to find specific LT1 7/16" rockers.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

You want the TFS 30400623-8 guide plates. The ones you listed are for the TF GENX lt1 head.

Are those the correct studs? Also what about the 7/16" rocker arms? Can I use a genertic sbc 7/16" narrow body 1.6rr? Thanks for the reply!

The studs I used are ARP 135-7101. They have the guideplate locator shank and are slightly longer to accommodate them.

I guess either will work, I used the 134-7103. If you want the narrow body rocker, I'd go with the Ultra Promag.

I just assumed that I needed a narrow body to clear the centerbolt valve covers.

Easily trim the covers to fit wide body rockers.
