iv had a set of ford racing 1.6 rockers laying around ever since i bought the car (they came with). I never installed them becuase i think the install is out of my range but i recently found a place that i would trust to do it. My question is would it be benificial to me to install them on stock heads? If so would i want to upgrade my springs or anything eleswhen i getthe rockers done? I do not plan on swapping out my heads any time soon however the intake manifold and cam will be.

edit: they are not 1.6, they are crane cam 1.7 from ford for the cobra.

Your stock rockers are 1.6, so I don't even think you will gain anything noticlble with the swap, maybe 2 or 3 RWH....I would save your money and wait to swap them when you are having more done, like heads and cam. Rockers are basically a supporting mod, they do very little on their own unless you change ratios.

they probably won't do much

you know they are pretty easy to install your self, I wouldn't bother with a shop

ok sorry, i just ran the part numbers, they are crane cam cobra 1.7 rockers, does that make a difference?

drhoward

ya they are bigger

Still probably won't help much

I have those same ones on my car, put them on, but do it yourself. They are a direct bolt in....easy.

5.0 stocker, what were you mods when you put them on? were they worth it?

they make your stock cam more like the e cam. i think they raise the lift to like .498 or something. i saw dynos where people were making like 5-6 rwhp on a stock motor. do it.
