Default 5.3 heads and texas speed tr3 cam

I just got a set of 5.3 stage 2.5 heads from texas speed with the torquer v.3 cam and was wondering if a set of 1.75 rockers will fit under the stock centerbolt valve covers.

It is not really a good idea to run higher than the OEM 1.7 ratio with a cam with agressive lobes like a tv3. It even says it on TSP's website. It will beat the **** out of your valvetrain. A few ponies is not worth it IMO. Put that $$$ toward something else.....

Thanks SOMbitch for the info. I looked on TSP'S web site and could not find that info. Problem is I already got the 1.75, guess I will have to sell them dont want to F__k my motor up. Will the stock arms be okay?

The stock arms will be just fine. Sell the 1.75's and buy you an UD pulley.

^agreed with them. Sell 1.75s and get some ls7 lifters (if you didn't already), ported ls6 pump, or a U/D pulley. Just throwing out items you could use during your H/C swap.

Thanks for the info guys, I already got a ported ls6 oil pump and ls7 lifters, just kinda messed up on the rockers. I got a friend that is going to take them off my hands though.
thanks for the replies
