Depending on the new springs you have coming, single or duals, you may need to machine the heads for the springs. If I remember right the rockers are bolt down.
Best bet, have the spring pockets machined for the springs and the rocker arm pedistals milled, drilled and threaded for screw in studs and guideplates. Then use hardened pushrods with good roller rocker arms and jam nuts.

:I have a pair of 95 heads off a 5.0. From what i can tell they are referred to as E7TE-6049-AB, anyways i am now in the process of staring at em and wondering what i need to get em running. I mean i know rocker arms and pushrods, but what kind? i want a decent and cheap as possible roller rocker. The cam kit is coming with springs, retainers, locks ect ect. So that said Do i need guide plates? what kind of push rods, and what roller tip rocker will work? oh, and a 1.6 or 1.7 rocker?

:I am getting excited about this car, i got the headers, exhuast, 4bbl carb and manifold. I am using a Weiand single plane and a holley 600cfm. I got cheaper headers (paw) for now. I am going with a cam kit from comp cams - 275/280 219/233 .477/.510 110. I am not sure if i am over camming it at 8.0:1 compression and i am still unsure on the CC size of the 95 heads so i am not sure if i am decreasing compression as of yet. I also have a 2200 stall convertor and 3.00 gears, will be installing 3.80 gears in the next month or so. Anyways, thanks to ALL for putting up with my questions
