Ok, yes, the cobra's did come with roller tipped rocker arms, but in the true sense of a roller rocker, which he was refering to (i.e. an aluminum or steel cast roller tipped, needle bearing rocker arm) he couldn't just throw those onto stock E7's.
cobra's came with 1.7 ratio FULL roller rockers.. not roller tip POS rockers

You think i'm wrong??? Oh wait... thats right.... of the two of us.. I own the cobra, not you.

and pedestal mount full roller rockers will work FINE on stock E7 heads

1.72 rockers make more PEAK horsepower, but the 1.6 rockers make more power throughout the powerband (rpm's).

Ooo, you own cobra's. Sheeeweeee, thats a hell of an honor. Cause those things can't be found anywhere, hell there's only about 5 in my local paper.

Yea, i like those AFTERMARKET crane cams roller rockers. Still not a true stud mounted roller rocker, like Keveman was askin bout'. But yea, you are right they bolted right up to those E7's, but i would imagine they may need longer push rods and probably(most likely) taller valve covers, which he was asking if hecould put them on without any other mod's besides the rocker arms themselves.So your right about one aspect of the entire argument, full rocker rocker will work with a set of stock E7/GT40 heads. But he was asking aboutstud mounted rockers, may not have said that but thats what he wanted to know about. Thats nice, but really they probably cost as much or more than regular ball/fulcrum roller rockers and putting them on E7s would really be a waste cause it would be like polishing a turd. GT40's,.yea....E7's no.

The entire argument over some stupid flipping rocker arms could have been avoided if you had worded your reply something like this....

and i quote...


" Dear Mr.Stangaruu, i deeply regret that you are in-correct about the roller rockers not working on stock heads, i know this aspect may have alluded your great knowledge and wisdom and this is a shame. But all great men are wrong at one time or another, but continuing with our subject of the roller rockers, Crane Cams and in-fact, Ford Motor Company Inc. actually sells and origionaly equiped the 1993-1995 Mustang Cobra's (which it is an up-parralled honor to own one of) with these FULL rocker arms. But i am a simple man of little knowledge Great Stangaruu and i am very sorry to have to point this out to you, thank you very much and god bless. "

Sincerely, Addermk2.

P.S. " And i think your sh*t smells of roses and wild flowers. "
