Gerry,
I'm gonna be using Erson's roller rockers and shafts/bases (mid-April delivery at best!). I corresponded with a fellow named Bill Troth late last year, also using Erson Rockers with Edelbrock heads (the bigger chamber & valve 427 version). He had to clearance the underside of the Erson bases just a tad to clear his taller head ARP head bolts, the bolt heads at either end only; I believe the (3) in between didn't hit the underside. He did not use head bolt washers either.

My Ford head bolts look good - re-use 'em? They are not torque-to-yield type so this should be o.k.?

I will definitely use the ARP shaft studs Edelbrock recommends.

Oh, my headers are Hooker for CJ heads with the 16 cap screws.

I'm using an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake -do I use the Edelbrock gasket recommendations? Guess that goes for the exhaust gaskets too?

Thanks for your advise & counsel -geoff
