If you have got the room under the valve covers use Harlan Sharp, the inventor of the roller rocker, about $180 from Summit.

PRO MAGNUMS worked great for me, love them using them on my other motor too in the process of being built...

I got the Crane energizer aluminums. I actually cracked 1 but replaced it before it could do any real damage. Comps are expensive but they are steel. If you have the bucks go with Comps.

I have Crane Golds and they are noisey as he11. Granted they were used on another engine before this one, but I still want them off of my engine as soon as I get enough money to buy Comp Pro Magnums. Keep in mind that the AL ones don't last as long and they are not as strong as the stainless Comp Pro Magnums.... The only downside to the Pro Mags is that you have to clearance the valve covers a bit if you use stock ones. Otherwise they are the best rockers out there, short of shaft mount ones.
