We use Scorpion's rockers on most everything we build with stud mount rockers.

Top quality rocker arms and they are made in the USA right in Fla. Lifetime guarantee as well.

I have used that particular 3/8 stud narrow body self algining model a few times on Vortec, LT1 and LT4 engines. It's great for mild bolt on stuff and requires minor modifications to LT1 (remove drip tabs) and none for LT4's except new 3/8 studs for those with the 10mm studs....

For higher RPM or more serious engines your better off with a big body non-SA rocker, 7/16 studs, guide plates and hardened pushrods... but the big body rockers require more mods to make them fit under the centerbolt valve covers.

Thanks, Will. I've read that to use 1.6 Rockers I have to change the valve springs on my LT1. Apparently, the exhaust valve springs may bind. The LT4 springs are supposed to be flatter springs which alleviates LT1 / 1.6 Rocker problems. Can you shine any light on that?

Thanks!
