you are better off changing the valve train specs with a cam, if the block is already out its cake to change and less $ than the rockers for more HP.

Hello, I have installed a Comp Cam Xtreme pn# 20-745-9. I really want to install 1.7 roller rockers, but I dont know who makes them.

harland sharp makes the best set Ive seen, but check your lift specs to make sure you won't float a valve or cause contact.

my bet is though that you wont realize anymore gains than the Cam.

Have aftermarket valve covers? You might start hitting the covers if not. Mopar Performance covers are nice.

I cant use the Harland Sharp becase the studs are for 5/16, and the Edelbrock Heads studs are 3/8. I am using the aluminum Mopar Magnum valve covers.

did you call comp cam and/or edelbrocks tech lines? one of them should have a solution for you. i do know you are going to have to check valve to piston clearences very carefully if you are going to run a higher lift/duration cam with 1.7 rockers with a stock style piston.
