I installed the Harlan Sharp 1.6 non-adjustable roller rockers and love them. went with the 1.6's because I already have a performance cam. If you are running a stock cam and are not thinking about replacing it, go with the 1.7's. You'll pick up some performance.

I wish I had see-through valve covers as thay are really too good looking to cover up.

If you're putting in new lifters and rocker arms, replace all of the push rods. It's always just good insurance to do it when replacing the other two.

Not sure of the grind on your cam, but you may have the option yet of the 1.7's. 1.6 is the same ratio as the factory rockers so definitely no issue there. Talk to the people where you are getting your cam and see what they have to say. Hopefully they steer you right.

Also, I highly recommend using only Fel-pro gaskets. These Dodge's take to them like a duck to water.

Good luck with your rebuild.
