Re: Check out these Roller Rockers....

so... did you buy the first ones or the ones I posted?

If you bought the first ones, good luck; the reason they don't fit is because of the center-bolts for the valve covers, the rockers are too wide, and no matter how much clearancing you do, you can't mount the VC's properly.

The ones I posted are the ones needed for a centerbolt style VC, and still require trimming of some internal tabs of the VC. They also require the Pushrods, and guideplates because they are NSA. They are narrower than the 53-87 rockers to clearance the bolt comming through inbetween them; whereas the 53-87 SBC's had edge-bolt valve covers and the rockers could be right next to each other.

Not all parts for a 350 chevy are universal, the LTx motors are unique and have many things that are not interchangeable.
