I thin ka cam designed for 1.5 will need too much spring for hydraulic rollers and a 1.7 rocker. There are plenty of custom lobe designs for higher ratio rockers. Those are what you should be looking for if you believe you need them.
Thanks Moper, just tossing around bench talk. I'm still a little far away from making use of that short block I seen you for. I slowed myself down with a new car purchase. Great on one front (Daily driver) crappy on the other front (go fast toy) LOL! Always a catch 22. But forge along I do.
B3RE. I glad you know the article and I do think your right about just swapping parts and no geo check. The 1.5-1.6 rocker change was good though. Often I say, "Take advantage of the heads flow ability as much as possible." (Then let it breath deep!) might as well if you can right?!?!
