Isky 256 Super Cam is computer compatible according to this: http://www.iskycams.com/onlinecatalog.html The roller rockers are a "bragging rights" item on these engines...the ROI is very little to none. But if you must, check here: Ford Inline 6 and AMC Inline 6

I checked out your link Ford Inline 6 and AMC Inline 6 and went to products and clicked their ford inline 6 link and this is what I saw... Inline 6 Chevy and Chevy Corvair. I think these will work and give a better ratio and maybe a bit more ROI. Would this be true?

i took a gander at this one:
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-SK66-248-4/
would this work since it says it applies to 96?

An glitch in the Harland Sharp site that has not been fixed. One has to click on the AMC 6 link where the Ford 6 rockers are listed. I copied the link from the page directly and it still screws up.

Check with Comp directly on that cam.

Check with Summit or JEGS or a local speed shop to see if they have the Isky cam.
