I just ordered what you said your running. The part number is cc 1605-16. They are non self aligning and I also order3d the trickflow guideplates and chromoly pushrods. Can you please verify the rocker part number for me please, because summit doesn't state that it's for an lt1

Those rockers will work. Doesn't have to be LT1 specific.

If you haven't already ordered, you'll also need 7/16 rocker studs. I'm using ARP studs.

ordered the studs too...thanks so much for actually being awesome and responding. Can't wait until install. Next week I'm doing the rockers and my electric mezere wp118hd pump is on its way so I'll bang out both.

1 more question, I couldn't find out if my 96 composite valve covers will need any modification or they will clear no problems with the ultra pro magnums?

I ran chevy brand bowtie roller rockers 1.6 with the bowties stamped on them in my 93 about 8 years using stock valve covers, no problem.

If they are like my 95 LT1 composite valve covers I removed the drip tabs to clear my (pro-magnums?, this is an old thread and its been a long time) the good new is it literally took a couple of minutes to remove all the tabs
