If you run 1.6 you can run the stock valve springs. If not, buy a set of aftermarket heads or go with thumpers, It'll save you the headache of bending all your pushrods and breaking rockers.

Fords were meant to run with 1.6s IMHO. For full rollers, get some taller valve covers. Crane Cams and Trick Flow make good springs.
