on the stock heads under the rockerarms where you wuold put shims there is about a 2 inch long peice of u-channel with 2 holes for the rockers to bolt through. I know there a guide plate of some sort but i cannot seem to find them anywhere.

so if you know where i can buy a set of these or a part number or atleast thier real name then that would help.

are they required?
or can i use normal pushrod guide plates? and would i need the normal or the raised guide plates?

im going to be putting on some 1.6 rr pedestal mount rockers on an engine im building and i dont have those parts, i will be needing to use shims for the rocker arms due to using a TF stage 1 cam.I have ford racing stock lenght pushrods hardened for guide plates.
thanks.
also i need a spider retainer and lifter guides where might i find them and under what name.

For little odds and ends like the dog bones and the lifter retainer and all that, you might wanna try www.stangparts.com . It might not be listed in their normal parts lists but all you have to do is email them and theyll go get it. They have that stuff in abundance. They usually do COD too.
