stud heads so I can get the 1.6 stud rr's from scorpion...

You can get good pedestal rockers also, but I believe the studs are a little stronger, but also more expensive.

will I need to get a girtle too? also Will i need to get lifters or will they come with the heads?

OnyxCobra

you're gonna need new lifters, pushrods, rockers, head bolts or even better studs.

I went w/ ARP head studs. They can be a little more of a pain at times, but they can be reused since the nut is where the twisting force is applied instead of the bolt like regular head bolts.

Scorpion 1.6 Stud mount RR's = $200
FRPP hardened pushrods = $45
Lifters (FRPP, Crane, etc) = ~$120
ARP head studs = $75
AFR 185's = ~$1350 [c-f-m.com]

I'm like you...I want the best possible deal for my $$ and don't mind looking around. Definitely call Dave at JD's and see what he can do for you on the parts you need. Good luck!!
