Default need to make some decisions

Alright I could use some help in making some final decisions. I have decided to make the following mods and I will be tearing it down next week. I have decided to use the LT 4 hot cam (kit)
1-Are the crane rockers included narrow bodied?
2-I have read a couple of bad stories that the 1:6 stuff starts to hit the top of mod.stock covers is this fact? (because I was hoping to keep the original look and baffles not to mention save a few $$)
3-I would like to have my 113 ported (from reading threads many are saying the heads can flow enough no.s and I dont have any plans on going any bigger than the hot cam) to support the cam any issues that I should be aware of in this combo ie. r.r. geometry etc?
4- In the future I would consider the S.R. for now I thought I could mod. the stock T.P.I. for better no.s (runner work) any suggestions in this area would really help
This is a 90 with 3:07, 26" tall rears, no L.TUBES I want to keep it a sleeper (stock look overall) and it is an A-4 trans Thanks in advance guys, I appreciate all your help M7

sounds good to go... when ordering your cam select narrow bodies rockers for center bolt covers,

As much as I love the LT4 Hot Cam it really isn't suited to the TPI power band. It wants to turn 6500 RPM's.
