351 Upgrade Question

Hey Guys, I have a 1978 Ford Bronco with the 351 M in it. I have an edelbrock cam, timing set, intake manifold and I am putting a holley carb on it. I was also looking into installing Ford Racing aluminum roller rockers. The ones I am looking at are found at the following web site. Are there any problems in putting these on? Do I have to get an install kit or anything or will they bolt right on? And will they really improve anything performance wise?
Any comments are welcome, and Thanks

first i wouldnt install that holley. they arent known for being a good offroad carb. they flood easily and blow powervalves alot. now for the rockers, i dont think your going to gain anything really from these. a 351m isnt a hi rev motor anyways so i think your best to spend your money elsewhere. you might ask in the 351m/400 motor forum for a better answer.

good luck
