i will be installing a set of rockers on a set of GT40 heads but would like to know if there is any specific way to install them. I know that they must be torqued to spec, but will I have to do anything particular besides bolt them down?

Also, if I do not get the 1.6's, will stock (non GT40) rockers from my stock heads fit alright on the GT40 heads?

just torque them to spec..

some say the pistons need to be at TDC but i just put mine in, by torquen'm down

i think it all depends on your cam size

so as for the stock (non GT40) rockers, they will work with the GT40 heads depending on the cam? Right now, the car has a very mild cam in it (unknown specs) and I am running the stock heads with stock rockers. can I safely say that they will work on the GT40 heads since they are currently working fine with the stock heads? [Confused]

you can use your stock rocker arms, but just wait and get some 1.6's. no sense in tearing it all down to swap heads and then have to partially tear it back down to do RR's a few weeks later. safe some money on gaskets.
