Doing head gasket swap.... Advantages!

[TenorPlayinGuy]

Alrighty now... Ive got everything i NEED for my head gasket swap (all applicable gaskets, bolts, sealer, etc etc. including some tuneup supplies I.E. oil, filters, valves, plugs etc etc) so Now on to the thing I want to do. I want to switch over to Roller Rockers while my heads are off. I know I can go with the Cobra rocker kit. But I wanted something a little more adjustable. So I was thinking about retrofitting my Stock E7's with a STUD mounting kit. Now where could I find one, OR would I be able to just machine the hole to accept normal 7/16" studs with guideplates... ANyone with an answer Please let me know. THanks

Just keep your "stock" setup (pedestal)...no real good reason to switch in my opinion...

I had Crane pedestal mounted ones on my stock E7's...they were quiet to ...and when I replaced them after doing the h/c/i swap...they looked new...

why are you "swapping" head gaskets? and i wouldnt go through the trouble of runnin studs either.

well i have a blown head gasket so I need to replace them actually. And i have a set of the cranes on my 94 mustang and I have had nothing but trouble. I do however know what im doing with stud mounted rockers and whatnot So i need to find out if its good for my car. plus its cheaper to convert, get new and whatnot then it is to get the same setup with a pedestal mount setup
