Im gonna go to Crazy Horse in S.Amboy instead,they specialize in 5.0's also.I talked to the owner there and he likes the Motor Sport 1.7 RR's. What do you guys think of Motor Sports? or are Cranes better?

I bought FRPP 1.7's; and they have 'Crane' stamped right on the side. Crane and FRPP have history. THe E cam is identical to the Crane Powermax 2040...

The Cobra covers do not look the same as the HO covers; the 93's are taller and shaped differently; the 94/5 are taller and have the 'cobra' script stamped into the top. I prefer the 93's - they're more obscure. I got mine on ebay.

Comp cams makes a machined steel roller rocker which is no doubt really strong and durable. This may be your best bet to replace the old stockers.

Willys - I mentioned the compcams rockers earlier; I'm with sicarius - if you're gonna spend the money, I'd get the stamped steel CompCam that has a roller tip, but a non-roller pivot like the stock rocker. Check their website.
