Default 318/5.2 Magnum rocker arms questions

Hi all
I was wondering if anyone has swapped in the blue Scorpion pedestal-mounted roller rockers, the ones sold for Ford applications. I've seen chatter on various other Dakota forums and a YouTube video of someone installing them, but no definite answer about how they preform or what is involved with installing them.

Any testimonies from someone who has put some miles on these? I have a stock 318 in a 4x4 Dakota, and I'd like to retain the stock low-end torque range, and not go through the hassle of putting a cam in.

I will second this motion. It's a REALLY good 'bang for the buck' mod. Add a tuner. You will like it.

HS rockers are ideal I know.
I asked because the Ford ones are about 200 bucks cheaper

You're shopping at the wrong place then. The HS's are like $350 for a set I think.
