I would like to put roller rockers on my Seven, The engine is a Ford Crossflow 1600. Any ideas where I can get these and what all might be needed?

Thanks for any ideas.

Dave Bean had them once upon a time. I was eyeing a set when I still had a 1600 crossflow powered Cortina GT.

I don' wanna be a party-pooper here, but... what would be th' "cost/benefit" ratio for doin' it, Bruce?!?! All I can see is ~braggin' rights~ from here.

...save th' money for more productive endeavors.

I ain't bein' "negative" with this. Just that the money spent versus the end-result could be a let down.

Thank you both for your suggestions. I should reconsider. It may not be worth the money.

Thanks again

Bruce -

You may want to give Rocker Arm Specialists in CA a call. I don't know the cost for your application, but their prices are excellent, very reasonable for the quality you get:
