Rocker and spring help

I am wanting to tackle a little up top engine work, being the rocker arms and springs... I don't have much knowledge or friends with american cars, so I wanted to see if anyone knew if the kit below would fit my 1994 Corvette base model coupe LT1???

Thanks...

Yes they'll fit but I strongly recommend against Proforms. They are of poor quality and not worth the money saved compared to the severe damage that can potentially be caused by the failure of one. Figure on spending at least another hundred or more and you'll get quality, dependable parts.

Thanks for the tip. I have no experience with parts... how about these:

Or can someone give me some good brands??? What is quality to go with. I would rather spend a few extra $$ than mess up the motor and have to do more work.

Thanks!!

I suggest you look at Scorpion. USA made prouduct. Quality is outstanding (guarenteed for life) and the price is reasonable (about $220.00 retail). They have applications for about any engine and combination you could dream up. They are available from quite a few people and some vendors on this site, I'm sure one of them will chime in with an offer.

Comp and Crane also make good quality rockers that will fit your engine. Also look in the parts for sale section, as people buy and sell rockers here alot.

G M Performance Parts has the LT4 springs for about $30 a SET. They are 101# instead of stock of about 85#.

Why don't you consider the Hot Cam kit, comes with 1.6 roller rockers, LT4 springs, retainers, locks, seals, and the Hot cam which you will eventually want to put in anyhow. Kit cost is something like $525 now days.
