You don't have to use narrow body rockers... But if you don't you will have to modify your valve covers a bit.. We'd recomend the comp pro-mags, comp pushrods and GM guideplates. Might as well upgrade to 7/16" rocker studs while your at it to since you'll be buying new rockers also... What is your budget for this?

The GM guideplates (14011051) have the correct spacing. The Comps may not if they are the same ones used on the SBCs.
