Default roller rockers

i'd liek to upgrade to roller rockers soon but i want to know what I'll need to change or get. its for a 351W. I know i obviously need the rockers. I'll be ordering new pushrods jsut because the old ones are old anyway. I've heard I need taller valve covers, true? but if there's anything you guys can think of, fill me in. thanks

You need a way to mount them on your heads, either by machining or an adapter kit. Stock heads don't accept rollers IIRC, unless you are just talking about roller tipped rockers, not roller truniuned rockers.

You can get a set of stud roller rockers, I got a set of Crane for my 302. Here is a set for example (not crane) for a 351 Stude mount True Rollers
