Can't say anything about the Chevy to Mopar adaptation...but the Crower kit
included the studs. Yes, they are kind of "special" but the biggest
difference between the stock "bolts" and the studs (besides one being a stud
an the other just a bolt) is the taper on the base where they mount to the
head.
Curious...would just the Crower studs fit with the Chevy Rollers?
As for the stock valve cover gaskets, I purchased an extra set for added
insurance, but you can flip the factory gaskets over and they seal up
perfectly.

Subject: DML: 3/8 stud roller rockers for a chevy do NOT fit the dakota
Well,
There goes that experiment. I bought a set of proform chevy 3/8 stud
roller rockers. They came in today and
1) they don't fit the dakota.
2) the stock valve cover gasket is rubber, no need to waste 40 bucks on a
new
one.
a little disappointed.
I think if I can buy a stud to go in the hole that the BOLT holds the stock
rocker arm to, I can adapt it in there, but the bolt is not 3/8 so it'd have
to be a very special bolt. Anyways. If anyone has any comments or has done
this before. tell me how!!
