Call Brian,or Pm here.(handle 0U812). Brian can handle all questions, he's really cool about that. The intake manifold may affect the head choice. Is your air gap,LA or Magnum bolt pattern. If it's LA,he may go EQ's. If Magnum,the RHS are his choice. (usually) Contact him.
its a magnum engine with magnum intake,and yes the heads are comming from brian.i just want to know if this is a bolt on heads with the magnum rockers and pushrods a have now

The stock rockers and pushrods are compatible with the heads, and work pretty well.
You should verify that the springs he sends will work for that cam, but it will probably be fine. I ran a cam with very similar lift/duration with the EQ heads.
Having been there, done that, I would get the heads machined for good springs when you order them. There are very few choices for these heads out of the box, and pulling them basically sucks.
