The crane bolt down roller rockers come with the Ford part number right on them. (1.7) and they are the exact ones from Ford Racing know as the Cobra rockers. I have used them on three different builds with the stock heads without trouble. I have had to go longer push rods on aftermarket heads because the are usually slightly taller than the stock head making the push rod too short.

You might have to grind down your valve covers as well, sometimes with the stock valve covers the higher rocker has a tendancy to hit the cover, quick and easy fix though since they aren't just cheap pressed valve covers like most cars have, lots of material to grind.
