Can I run stock rockers with a CC 305 cam?

I was wondering if they would handle the lift.

TIA

You can run stock arms on any cam, its the springs that will be the problem. If you run the CC503 on Lt1 springs you are guaranteed to have a bad day.

yep, not enough spring pressure to prevent valve float. If I were gonna upgrade the cam and springs I'd have to do some rockers too.

If it were me, I wouldn't do it. Save up and do it the right way. Where the pushrod sits in the rocker "might" get chewed up with the extra lift. Did that with a Mopar many moons ago. Then found out I could have bought some rockers with longer slots it them for the higher lift cam. Live and learn.

The reason I was asking is I was thinking of selling the car. If I did that I would remove the ported heads and roller rockers that are on there now. The stock heads that would go back on already have upgraded valve springs.

Thanks for the responses.
