would regular old SBC rocker arms work on an LT1? i can get a set of nice roller tips for realtively cheap but it only specifies for small block chevy. thanks.

 

They should work fine as long as they are for a 3/8 stud. If they arent self aligning then youll need guide plates also.

 

great! they are self-aligning and for a 3/8" stud. everything i wanted to hear.

 

As my 6th grade math teacher always said...

"There is no stupid questions, only stupid students"

 

i think hardened pushrods is a must with the guide plates to.

 

or, "There are no such things as stupid questions. Only stupid people, who ask questions."

Either way it's not meant to demean you so don't worry

If they are aluminum they may not fit unless they are "narrow body" for center bolt valve covers.

they're chromoly, i've seen the picture and compared them to a set of aluminum LT1 rockers. these are far narrower. plus i just don't care for aluminum, i'd trust steel especially since my mostly stock car isn't revving past 6k they don't have to be super light.

 

What Rich said.

Aluminum-bodied rockers designed for perimeter valve covers have wider trunions, and won't work with centerbolt valve covers.

 

Thats when you knock the center sections out
