Which Rockers to Use?

ridelikehell · #1 (**permalink**) 08-31-2004, 10:09 AM

Right now I've got the stock rockers in my 302 and it's really the only thing that I haven't upgraded; and it's time for a little more power anyways

I'm leaning towards a 1.7 roller, but also thinking about the 1.6...

are there any disadvantages to the 1.7?...or will i just get the 1.6 and wish i had gone bigger?

other valvetrain specs are: Edelbrock 60cc aluminium heads, B303 cam

I just put a set of 1.6 rollers in my 302 from the Mustang Depot. You will also need hardened pushrods and guide plates. Make sure you let them know whether you have 3/8" or 7/16" studs. If you have 7/16" studs, I have a whole set I am sending back.

relaxinrob,
thanks for the offer, but my rockers are bolt on, not stud mount...plus i've got a connection with the local speedshop anyways...

have you got your 1.6's in yet?...much difference? any problems?

thanks!
