Ordered my headers, now I need new rockers
 

I ordered my headers from Mac today, thanks guys for the help> but I just realized I need new rockers, I don’t think I should use the stock rockers, is one brand better then another? Not sure if I should go with 1.6 or 1.7.. I know the 1.7 will change the lift which is ok, I’m installing a Ecam with the heads but I wonder if I should have went with the B cam instead, the heads are SVO GT 40 aluminum, the guy I bought these from said there pedestal mount, should I stay with pedestal or change to stud mount, ? I was also thinking about used rockers to save a few dollars, ( any thoughts on used) if i buy used, are all rocker compatible as long as there stud or pedestal? or must they be for the right application? ford is ford chevy is chevy.This car is a daily driver, so it has to be some what trouble free

I would get 1.6 pedestal mount rockers and not look back.

Too many variables to answer that one. It all depends on what you want. The 1.7's and 1.6's are fine. Eitherway you should be fine. It's all a matter of opinion. Never bought anything that important used, not that it's a bad idea, just haven't done that. Ford =Ford, Chevy=Chevy stick with that and you are golden.

The heads can be converted to the stud mount rockers, but why pay more for the same thing with the pedestal mount?

I’ve been giving this a lot of thought, the car will average 12,000 miles a year as a daily driver, are rollers the way to go, ? or would I be better off keeping with a stock rocker arm for reliability, compared to what ever possible gains that I probably won’t even see if i go with rollers

Not true my friend. The only time that will get you in trouble is with Chevy's "offset" rockers. My Ford runs very well with "chevy" trick flow rockers on it. And they were recommended by the owner of Canfield heads, who happens to be a Ford guy like us. ;)
