Yeah, that would be great Rich! No rush though. I figure I'll probably buy
the parts soon enough but I'm gonna wait till it warms up a little around here
before I do the work. Freezing my but off in the garage is not my idea of a
good time anymore. --Guess I'm getting old or something. ;-)

Yes, replacing the stock rockers with a roller set will add strength and
longevity to your engine. It reduces a lot of frictional wear mainly on the
valves and guides. If you replace the stock pushrods with a heavier .080
wall set, you also protect yourself in case you over-rev your engine. Bent
pushrods are not your friend.
They can be replaced by anyone at home with as little additionally required
tools as a valve spring compressor. I can't give you the steps right now,
but if you like, can do so a little later. Ok?
