Keep in mind if you use chevy rocker they are 1.5 ratio and the push rod holes will need grinding. Here is how I done it------------http://www.moparchat.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122627

The hughes pieces even come with "350" etched into them! Photobucket sucks

The way I see it, running cheaper parts is running cheaper parts. look at how many stroker kits utilize chevy rods for both a price break, AND more clearance inside the block for more stroke. if anyone has a problem buying "Chevy parts" for your mopar, then pay the extra money and order the parts that Hughes has listed for "Edelbrock Mopar Magnum heads." then you can brag on how you only bought "Mopar" parts Photobucket sucks

The stem heights were a tad short but it worked just fine to over 6k rpm. It will be going back together with +.100" long small chevy valves and the same rocker setup. There was no appreciable guide wear with the setup as I had it.

This brings the question has anyone ever tried sing the Ford Motorsports 1.7 rockers? Probably need grinding on the heads for p/r clearance. R I know a lot of the Dakota guys will step up to a 1.7 roller rocker on their factory 5.9L magnum engine, as a "cheap" way to get a bigger cam, without the hassle of an actual cam swap. --Remember stock ratio on the Magnum heads are 1.6. most of them are using Harland Sharps, but I don't know if they are sold as a ford part, mopar part, or if HS lists them under each brand with a different catalog number, but secretly use the same part for both. but for those guys, the 1.7s are basically a bolt on deal that takes the morning to knock out, letting you go cruising after lunch.

I have the correct applications for each part wrote down somewhere to do it on a Magnum you use a pushrod for a 64 or 65 289 Ford one part I think was Magnum only & is listed with the kit only not with the parts like it
