Yea I saw these and they would work but I want to see if I can find full rollers and not just roller tip. This is a good deal if the push rods are the right length. I don't know how long my push rods are though. I will keep it in mind.
Thanks Gary

They should work fine in a 350. They have roller tips to reduce wear and friction in the rockers. Also, they have 1.6 ratio instead of 1.5 stock rocker ratio. That means the valve will have more lift. It will definetly make a difference. Will it be noticeable difference? I don't know. Maybe someone else can estimate what kind of gains would be seen...

I want to beaf up my engine next summer, wondering if this would be a good addition to jump on now? I know you are wanting to sell this and may be bias, but would you put these on a motor knowing that you want to upgrade other stuff and not knowing if its going to be replaced anyways?

Unless you want to go with full roller set up ($$$), these are the next best option.
But don't take my word for it, do your research and get back to me. You can always call CompCam and tell them about your future set up and see if they recommend this item...

Not necessarily.
With 1.6 ratio rockers, more often you will need to elongate the push rod slots in the heads or they will rub against the casting.
Its a simple "fix" and they actually make a drill bit holder just for drilling out/elongating the hole. But, it may require you to pull the heads unless you want those shavings to go into the engine.
