1.7 Rocker Arms ????

Aloha Guys and gals,
I'm planning on doing the 1.7
rocker arm mod and would appreciate some guidance on it.
First off,how hard is it to do?
My truck is a 1993 5.8 L and is stock except for
a K&N filter.Also,how much power gain can I
expect?What's the best brand to get and what's it gonna cost?
Any feedback and info greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Aloha,
Cal

Crane has the "Cobra" roller rocker for about $200 or less. Check Summit Racing.
As far as the swap itself. It is pretty straight forward. You may have to modify the baffle in the valve cover to clear the rockers. The Crane Cams web site has a very good tutorial on this install for SBF.
