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? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SydeWayzSix</b> <br /><small>Member # 2222</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,3,17,13,57,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Anyone??? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>92coupe</b> <br /><small>Member # 1957</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,3,17,22,47,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> 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.<br /><br />Justin <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
