Roller heads on non-roller block

[jamesfs912]

What will I need to use gt40 heads on a '77 non-roller 302 block? Thanks in advance

The cam determines whether the engine is roller, not the heads. They'll bolt right on.

Sorry I wasn't clear enough what I meant was what pushrods and rocker arms should I use? Not sure what style rocker arm came with the gt40 and what length pushrod? Thanks

Pedestal mount rocker arms and check for pushrod length.

I have two 302's with GT40 iron heads, one has stock bolt down rockers with stock length pushrods for a 79 engine, and one with stock lenth pushrods with Comp Cams studs and roller tip adjustable rockers. Both have flat tappet hydraulic cams.

On the bolt down rocker motor, I tried the Crane shim kit, but did not need it. Spins to 6 k anytme.
