not really, still working on the brakes, Im going to chit can these rocker arms because of another thread on here stating they have oiling / design issues that will cause them to gauld and burn up, so I need to find a roller rocker that will fit under these covers

Valve cover spacers, then you can run any rocker you want.

just run stock rockers. they go for 100's of thousand miles without issue and I have run them to 6500 plus on tri power 427's without issue. as for the valve cover tho, if they still have drippers in them that limits any aftermarket rocker. problem is without the drippers the oil tends to go over the rocker and hit the outside of the cover so it does not oil well. if you think the vette site guys are bad visit a rolls royce site and tell them you are going to put any non stock part on your car or better yet that you are going put a 350 chevy in it. they blow up over anything like that.

Great way to bring a C3 back to life - everything accounted for up front and good for a number of worry free years!
