Hi, I have been lurking here for a while and finally joined. I have a 2001 Dodge dakota SLT 3.9L. We are In the process of cleaning out the engine. My grandmother gave the truck to me after my grandfather passed away during the summer. He only drove it around town and didn't take care of the engine but the body and frame is pretty straight. I want to get some roller rockers fron Harland Sharp and was wondering which would be best, 1.6 or 1.7? I read that the 1.7 might not clear the valve covers and I eventually want to get a cam for it. If I get 1.7 do I need stiffer springs and better rods? If so where can I get them? This is my first truck and I'm pretty excited about mods. I know there aren't many performance parts for 3.9s but I can make due. Sorry for the long post.

 

The Harland Sharp 1.7 rockers are best. They fit under the stock valve cover and use stock springs and push rods. Easy to install. I have a write up on it.
