Thanks 90sickfox. How do I go about measuring for the push rods? Also how to test valve to piston clearance?1st....take them to a machine shop and have them checked and cleaned up. If your lifters were ok than they can be reused. The push rod length will have to be measured...you also should measure for piston to valve clearance.
The heads probably have pushrod guide plates unless the rockers are sled type fulcrums. If there are pushrod guide plates then you definitely can not reuse them, even if you check the length and find them to be ok. A pushrod guide plate requires a hardened pushrod. Stock pushrods are not hardened.Hi all, I just bought used Edelbrock performer rpm aluminum heads. They come with scorpion 1.6 rockers on them. I want to install it on a stock block. I have a few questions, can I reuse the stock push rods and lifters? Should I get the heads milled/ and cleaned? Should I change the valve seals? Also I want to upgrade my cam to something a little more aggressive. Would the heads, rockers, lifters, and rods work with it?
Thanks Stang Fam!
Thanks, I believe I have the 6025 headsknow that early 6037 heads have valve seat problems. Most certainly have a shop go through them before you do anything
You're gonna have to do some calling. Call edelbrock and ask them questions specific to the springs, i.e. installed height, spring diameter, single/double with or w/o dampener. Open and closed pressure.Ok so I called a couple of machine shops around in order to get my heads minimally milled and cleaned. I told them what my plans were, and I was asked if the car that the heads came from had hydraulic or solid lifters. They also wanted to know what kind of springs I had on the valves, is there any way to tell? What kind of a cam should I go with? Looking for something with a nice lumpy sound but not too much, and that has good low to mid range power. Thanks
Hey buddy im doing the same build right now. I installed those heads with a e303 cam ,ford performance rods and lifters and scorpion 1.6 rockers. I would not ever go with ford racing high performance lifters ever againHi all, I just bought used Edelbrock performer rpm aluminum heads. They come with scorpion 1.6 rockers on them.

what do the valve guides and combustion chambers look likeHere are some pics of the heads. I still have to clean them up.
