your stock rocker arms will work fine as long as the head is pedestal mount.

Could you please explain this? I have seen a lot of Cobras with Kenne Bells and they all run 1.7 roller rockers stock.

Well anytime I look up for roller rockers, mainly ford racing, always says taller valve covers are required by the description.

Either way, could the stock rockers handle the cam, or no. Just so i know my options. I will call up Ford racing to find out if i could use there roller rockers with the gt40x head with a stock valve cover for sure.
