Just wondering whether they will fit because I had a decent offer. Will it just be the same like the cobra rockers where I need to get rid of the oil baffle? Still undecided though since my cam is made for 1.7's, not 1.72's, but I just wanted to see my options.

Thanks,
Chris

Are they stud mount or pedistal rockers? That should tell you if it fits the heads. And other than that they should fit the same as long as the baffles are gone, you could always run a little thicker valve cover gasket for extra clearence. I like the Moroso perm-aligns myslef. Just a quick question, if you have pedistal cobra rockers on there now why would you want to switch?

They are pedestal mount rockers. I don't have the cobra rockers, I was just comparing the two for fitment purposes. I don't have any rockers right now, that is why I am looking for them. The cam is from Comp, XE270HR-12, which is made to go with the 1.7 ratio rockers. That is why I was unsure as to whether I would want to go with the 1.72's. Just trying to scan my options here.

Thanks for the reply.
