I have to crack open the valve covers to change the valve seals on my car and Iwas thinking about junking the stock rockers on my currently stock '91 for some rollers while I was in there and had it apart. I really don't want to get into modifying the heads for bigger studs, then saw the stock Cobra rockers are bolt-ons at 1.7. I've also heard anything bigger than 1.6 is too much for the stock valve springs. Is this true, or will the Cobras bolt on okay? Or should I bag the whole deal until I have the dough to do up the heads right? As I'm new to the 5.0 modification game, suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
