Sounds like a deal to me. Just read the fine print, common knowledge is they require guide plates.

When they say they will not work most often its because they are not for center bolt valve covers or for a different size rocker shaft but I bet money its the valve cover bolts.

I would but them and sell them for $100 or something and make some money.

i think when they say they wont work, is vortec heads use self alighning rocker arms, and stock heads dont have guide plates, if you install the guide plates you will have no prob running these rockers, you might need to get a tall style valve covers but thats all, so you will need to pull your heads and do screw in studs and guide plates,

hope this helps

I ran those with vortec heads and guide plates. Also used aluminum valve covers without all the crap that goes between the rockers so there was no need for a narrow body rocker.

i think the narrow body rocker is only necessary when running those adapter plates, i may be wrong but i am running big bulky rollers and the covers i got for my build didnt fit, so now i need to order some from summit .
