The pushrods are cheaper also for stamped rockers.

I just wouldn't use paddle style rockers on aluminum heads is all.....nothing wrong with it really.......even if they were standard duty they would work with that lift cam. Aluminum heads and stock rockers. It just made me chuckle is all. Again though, they'll work. I didn't see where it was mentioned....but what length pushrods do you have now?

9.315" standard length, but i know aluminum grows considerably compared to iron so i need to make up the difference. I'm going use a pushrod checking tool to measure since i have to tear it down to re-torque the heads and order from Oe pushrods.

Have Don throw in 2 extra ones. It's piece of mind knowing you have a couple extra.
 
Well found out my buddy who sold me the roller rockers had the pushrods but i doubt they'll fit since he had a roller cam and i think the plunger height is different, 8.900"?
 
Call my suggestion. Probably 2 day shipping. And everything is in stock. Because they make them as requested.
 
The factory rockers are very under-rated in my opinion. They are incredibly strong.
Many years ago I rigged up a test using a really strong valve spring to see how much deflection there was in the rocker under load. None that I could measure with vernier calipers.
