Roller tip rockers?
I have a 351W in my mustang that I would like to put some roller tip rockers on. The heads have screw in rocker studs. Do I need pushrod guide plates to run the rockers or will they stay in place like the stock rockers. I saw a set of roller tips for a chevy application, and they didn't appear to have a lip on the sides to stop it from swinging of the valve stem.

You can buy rail-type roller tip rockers, otherwise you will need guideplates and hardened pushrods.
Rail rockers are a Ford design, Chevy didn't have them which is why you don't see them offered for Chevys.

I like the sound of that. Rail type would be better than just plain roller tips I would think. Any idea who sells them, I got a summit catalog yesterday, but the only rail types I saw were for mopar and chevy. I think the whole catalog was geared towards chevy.
