Vette Threat,
generally speaking depending on the rocker arms you added, if you put in non-self aligning rockers and guideplates, a hardened push rod must be used, the stock push rods are generally pretty soft and should not be used with bigger springs, also, with a 1.6 rocker you may want to consider going with better springs, your going to be pretty close to bottoming the spring out with the larger ratio. feel free to email me with any questions about it!
Best Regards,

Thanks for the replies guys. I was just over at Agostino Racing today and I think I'm going to skip the roller rockers for this year. I'm planning on getting a 383 done this winter so I think I'll focus on getting a full exhaust system and new clutch instead.
