1.7 and 1.8 roller rocker requirements?
I found some 1.7 roller rockers and 1.8 roller rockers with 7/16 studs, and I was just curious what all requirements I would need to do to my motor for these to work, and also advice on if I should get 1.6, 1.7, or 1.8.

1.6 is fine, 1.7 adds alot of stress to the valve train, 1.8 is insane and I've never seen them for a SBC. :chevy

You need much tougher springs than the stockers to use 1.7s
