Thanks for the kind words guys. Tom, unfortunately I sold my stock rockers and this has custom length chromoly pushrods since the block was squared and decked so it would be a hassle to go back to stock. I love the rockers and I think they were one of the most cost-effective power enhancers I purchased. Have you sold out again? ~Wes
