HI guys. I hope you guys dont mind me posting here, but the Nova forums are literally dead. My question is this: Are there any secrets to installing Roller Rocker arms as opposed to regular rocker arms? Im building a 454 for my Nova, and I am anticipating the intake/roller rockers getting here tomorrow (those are the last two big pieces i needed). I was just wondering if anyone had installed roller rockers before and copuld give me a basic rundown as to hhow it is done/tell me any tricks to doing it if there are any. If anyone wants to see I have literally around 30 pictures detailing the entire rebuilding process. I can post a few if you want. Well thanks for everyones time.

Rob

the only thing that might have to be changed would be the pushrods (too long or short) everything else would go right together the only choice to make is what kind of performance you want

I was looking at two auctions on ebay, one for the pro magnum roller rockers you are speaking of, and one for a set of comp cams aluminum roller rockers. They were both slightly used, and the more expensive aluminum ones went for less on ebay, which is why I bought them. Here is a link to the roller rockers I bought for the 454:

They retailed for 325 on comp cams website but when I was looking around the cheapest I could find them was around 245. I paid 110 total so I really couldnt pass the deal up.
