    Can you use a later style rocker set-up on a set of 69 heads or would I have to get a set of later heads and just rebuild those for a 69 motor?



    Thanks

    You can, but then you have to plug the oil passages in the cyl head rocker pedestals that feed the pre-'70 shafts, switch to '70 & up hollow pushrods, and switch to '70 & up lifters that feature the pushrod oiling hole in the lifter cup.

    It sounds like it would be easier to just swap heads than mess with plugging the passages. Thanks for the info.
