Do you have the self aligning rockers that MUST be used with those heads?

Nope, rockers haven`t been purchased yet. That was actually my next question, and was going to PM you on it, actually, knowing your history:wink1:

Any recommendations, Scott? 1.5:1, or 1.6:1?
 
Just use the stock 1.5 ratio rockers. Are you going to full roller rockers or just some cheap stamped steel replacements?

Well, what works best with the Vortec heads? I`m going to be running COMP Cams #252....

Well, the best for any engine is going to be a set of full roller rockers. It really comes down to how much money you're willing to spend. GIve me either the specs on the cam you're using or the grind number. I need to know how much lift that cam has. If you're running alot of lift then you'll need long slot rockers if you stay with a stamped steel style rocker.
 
That number doesn't come up in my newest catalog. how about a part number instead?

Is it a hydraulic flat tappet cam?

I found a high energy hydraulic flat tappet 252H

Specs =

Lift = .425"/.425"
Duration = 206*/206*
Lob. Sep. Angle = 110*
RPM = 800-4800
