Let me clarify this before I get ragged on.... If I remember right the
poster had a 3.9l v6.

I realize newer magnum v8's have AMC style stud mounted rockers. Chevy
rockers won't work here either!

I've never seen the V6 rockers, but this engine is a 3/4 318. Literally.
I've always been under the impression that standard LA shaft mounted
rockers will fit on the shorter 3.9 shafts. Let me know if I'm off here?
I've never heard of any situation were the Chevy rockers will work on any
of the engines offered in the Dak's....

| | Really. I have been checking my mail every day (DML and non-DML) and I
| | haven't seen anything. I just purchased a stud kit (85 bucks with
guide

| Sorry

| e-mails
| | to your other address, but really. I didn't receive anything back.
