1.6 roller rockers?

bought a crane 227 cam-got new springs-now wondering about going to 1.6 full roller rockers...on a lt1 do i have to change pushrod length? and are the self align rockers sufficient or do u still need guideplates? does anyone know if 97 pushrods are hardened? i had heard the earlier lt's were hardened...thanks

Did you search? There are literally hundreds of threads on this topic.

With a new cam, you should get new pushrods, but standard length should be fine.
You're much better off with 7/16" non-self aligning with new studs and hardened guideplates.

Stock rods are OK... Yes, harden... No guide plate need for SA rockers...
