    What I like is that they are adjusted on the pushrod cup at the end of the rocker instead of that big high poly-lock sticking up thru the middle of the rocker on the end of the stud. Also, the pedestal design looks even more rigid that a stud, though I'm not using very high pressures (155/377). It seems they will fir under my stock valve covers, and they are a LOT cheaper than the true shaft rockers by Jesel, Crower, T&D etc.

    but like i said go back and read post 2 your stock stuff will work fine. it will fit under you short valve covers. it s not like i never have done it you are thinking you can adjust on the push rod side this maybe true as well as the same as a T&D .jesel . crower . ETC ....BUT...... your going to have to work your mild lift out to get the right push rods as there a good chance..THEY WILL NOT..... be the same as that you have now for size. the adjust is about good for no more then a turn or so. not for fixing bad geometry. i know there cheaper then others shaft set ups .but whats cheaper is studs. i have had many shaft sets new and used . i have car s that run in the mild 8s and 9s with studs and roller rockers. cars .truck.boats. that run in water .mud.dirt. snow any thing you can think of i built or help with the builds. studs will work fine were they do not work good at is very hi spring LBS like 340+ and open 1255 LBS.i am sure there is guys running faster with stock bbc stud mount rockers but .i know this first hand with the engines i build running much more spring at hi RPMs sounds like want a set so you should have a set. i am just saying for the money and your time getting them set up your stud rockers are more then fine. good luck
