Im nearing completion of my 306 build but need some help. I want to swap over my stock stamped rockers from my old heads to my new gt40 heads. is it as simple as unbolting them and putting them on the new heads, and torqueing down to spec? is it possible to do this with the heads off of the car or must the new heads be bolted down with the pushrods installed on the block?

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

Heads must be installed. Start with 1 at tdc and tq that rocker down. Move #2 to tdc and tq so on and so forth. Be sure to put plenty of assembly lube on the rocker fulcrums.
