Now as long as these things ARE spaced correctly for an LT1 ... I should be good to go.

Thanks Guys!

Appreciate it ...

Did the Trickflows solve the ticking sound?

I would 75% of the ticking is gone. Now I hear a slight tick from a couple of the rockers, but their Pro-Mags ... the ones on the racecar are loud too but their on a S.R. setup ...

Also, these were centered pretty damn well over the valves. Better then the LT1 I seen with GM plates!

I had the Isky guides but did not use them. I did not like the lateral slot under the stud. Looked like they could move. Ended up buying the gm standard flat from Summit. I also ran 7.3" long push rods with Comp 1.52 ProMag RR's. The RR's did not line up well over the valves (AFR heads). So, I cut them down the center and MIG welded them so the rockers would run on the valve tappet center. They been workin well for me with a CamMotion FI 231/240* - .538"/.560" lift.

Ok because I also have a slight ticking sound that I dont want to hear, its annoying! But I already have the TF plates. But I suppose that is the way pro mags are..
