Thanks! 2004R has the stock stall. Was rebuilt over at Fort Dodge Transmission, and had a shift kit added. Working to get the governor WOT shift point correct. At about 4100 rpm now. Probably should have beefed it up... Was surprised my crossmember was rotten at the ends even thought the car isn't rusty.

The rockers sound like a good idea. All of my info from HO Racing and Jim Hand says I would have enough clearance for the pushrods without grinding. Yet I read on here I may not?

What brand 1.6 rockers do you like?
