roller rockers

i was wondering where to get roller rockers to replace the factory ones, ones that will go on the stock shaft and fit under stock valve covers.

How much do you want to spend?.... Check with Dennis at DSCMotorsport or the guys at pump builders (Scouder has that dudes contact info), they also sell on ebay.
Have you already changed out the internals and are looking at spiffing up the top of the motor?

Did you have factory type adjustable rockers on your shafts before and now want to switch to roller type. The reason I ask is if you had non-adjustable rockers, then you will need the ball (for lifter end) and cup (for the adjustable rocker *****) ball and cup type pushrods. What type of cam are you running and what kind of RPM does your engine see. The reason I ask this is because even though roller rockers are supposed to help (fight friction, reduce oil temp, make more horsepower, reduce valve stem tip wear) I have talked to several cam companies that say that for a daily driver type of engine that they generally exhibit more wear than it is worth. There may be some kinds out there that are better than others and I'm sure some guys have had some good luck with them, but I do know of some guys that have had wear issues with them.
