Will these RR's fit my LT1?

My heads are stock

We have a NEW set of Aluminum Roller Rockers for a SB Chevy.This set is 1.6 ratio with 7/16th's polylocks. These Cal Auto Tech 2024 T3511 extruded aluminum rocker arms are manufactured from the best aluminum alloy available in the automotive racing industry. State-of-the-art extrusion processes make the optimum flow of the aluminum grain for superior wear resistance. The NSK licensed fulcrum needle bearing reduces friction and increases durability. Heat treated roller tips to HRC60 provide superior resistance. All rocker arms come with polylocks.
These sell new for $240.00.

Also would this mean they are slef aligning or non-self aligning?? And what's the difference...will I tell a difference with stock heads?

Are stock LT1 studs 7/16 or 3/8 ? I guess that is what I need to know!

Stock LT-1 studs are 3/8".

Replacing the studs is realitively easy, but those rocker sound like the wide-body types since I don't believe you can get a narrow body with a 7/16" stud (I might be wrong), and the wide-body (or regular ones) won't fit under the valve covers without modifying the ribs in the valve covers to clear them.

PS: I didn't see where they said self-aligning, so I would assume they are not. Most aftermarket rockers are not self-aligning.And if you want to run non-self-aligning rockers, you need to get guideplates and hardened pushrods.

Thanks! I just did the "Buy It Now" for $50!!



Just kidding.

Those are definitely the non-self-aligning type. They're also wide and you'll need cover clearancing, guide plates, and hardened pushrods for those.

Also, I don't see the little screw in locks that go in the center of the nuts.
