rocker arm questions

I have 2 sets of rocker arms, a lower and a higher ratio.
Is the gap still .19 for each?
is it more advantageous to use the higher ratio?
with switching from the 471 heads to 113 heads, how do I know which length push rod to use?

thanks for any input

The higher ratio rockers will give more lift and slightly more effective duration. It will make the cam 'bigger'. More power, but perhaps less fuel mileage.

I can't help with the pushrods. I wouldn't have thought that there was a difference.

Nice heads. Are they going on a 292?

thanks

the heads are going on a 59 f-100 4x4 with a 292
Just bought a set of ram horn exhaust manifolds for a dual exhaust.
should help the horsepower quite a bit
