I would use roller rockers their more expensive but you got 2 grand into heads you might as well go all the way. Do you have a factory cam or is it bigger. I used adjustable or stud mount as their also knownon my afr heads but 3 months later one loosened up so I have to take the valve covers off and readjust, but they give you more adjustment for a bigger cam. The pedestal mount are what the mustang came withfactory. You basically just bolt them down and you're done, I don't know a whole lot about the pedestal mount rockers.I had one guy tell me he wished he would have stayed with the pedestal mount but I don't know. If you're going with a bigger cam or chargerI'd spend the money on adjustable, just be ready to do extra work.
