A lot of people have had success with the stock 1.6 rollers, as the 1.7's can be overkill with your cam.

First of all, Comp isn't the best brand for Mopar's. They tend to grind everything as though it were for SB chevy. Iskedarian, Lunati or MoparPerformanceare best.

Second, .506 at the valves with stock 1.6's ain't enough to warrant different valve springs.

Lastly, what do you see as the benefit of going with GM rockers? I mean, I can't even see that the offset or height would allow the interchange, but assuming it would.........................
