I use them all the time. Get them directly from Eric at Stage-V. The only issue is that the higher exhaust ratio moves the pushrod toward the bore so plan on doing some grinding. But that's typical with a HEMI.

Thanx for the heads up Rich....I'll email Eric. Any idea what 8 sell for?

My combo uses ported Legend 426-1 heads, Indy shafts/hold downs and has Stage V 1.6 intakes and in due course was looking to grab a set of 1.6 exhausts as well.

I'll keep an eye on the pushrod gole clearance, is there any other issues swapping out the wide pads for the Stage Vs ?

The pushrod issue is the reason that different exhaust rockers are typically used. It can create a major problem. I would think twice before doing it, and definitely mock it up first.

And preferably with a head gasket as well. I have seen those hit the push rods too.

What pads? The rockers are roller tips. And you must use lash caps.

The crower caps were too short, I got some from Comp, they fit over the valve stem better. Tim

Make sure you measure the depth the lash caps sit over the valve. I had some from Comp that were actually sitting on top of the locks, not on top the valve. They were too deep, had to trim em down and they work fine.

Chip, I had to trim mine down .010" to clear the locks as well
