Believe it or not, the Ford Motorsports Rollers and Guideplate setup are
the same as for the Dodge Magnums. That's the least expensive route.
If you want the "Mopar" set, grab the 1.7:1 Kit which includes roller
rockers, pushrods, quideplates, and all mounting hardware - about $400.

What would be the most cost effective way of getting a 1.7:1 roller
setup? Thanks
