i will soon be changing out my intake, tb and valve covers. while i'm in there i'd like to change out my rocker arms & push rods. when i bought the car it had somewhat of a rebuilt engine but the rocker arms & push rods are stock. here's the specs on my car:

stock block bored over .30
keith black forged pistons w/ Sealed Power chrome moly file fit rings
stock rods, crank, heads and cam....
the rods were shot peen for added strength
5 angle valve job on the heads as well as a bow blend v-job into the ports
FMS hydraulic roller lifters

any advice which rocker arms & push rods to purchase? 1.6 or 1.7 ratio? how do i choose my pushrod length? 6.3, 6.272, 6.3?

anything to stay away from? any advice would be appreciated. thanks!

If your going to put roller rockers on I would go with the 1:7's.. Stock Pushrods will prob work just fine.. I used my stock ones with gt40p heads and 1:7 rockers..

Id get some 1.7 roller rockers. The ones that came factory on the 93 Cobras are what i have. There from Crane Cams, all aluminum roller tips and you can probably score some on ebay for 100 bucks or so? Scorpion rockers are good as well as are harland sharp but very pricey. Stock length pushrods is what you will need, unless your running a much larger than stock cam shaft!
