All this talk about roller rockers got my curiosity up. I found that Crower
makes Stainless Steel roller rockers for '94 and up 3.9, 5.2, 5.9 and 8.0
Magnums. Here's the deal from their web site (www.crower.com/dodge.htm):

        * 17-4 stainless steel body (180,000 psi rated)
        * Works with stock cam and springs
        * Bolt-on installation (approx. 3 hours). (yah right!)
        * Self-aligning roller tips. Guide plats no required.
        * Fits under stock valve cover. No machine work required.
        * 50 state legal with CARB E.O. # D-410.
        * 1.6 or 1.7 ratio
        * 20-25 hp increase v8 (I hope so!)
        * Reduced friction for better mileage (up to 20 miles per tank)
                (If my math is right that would be up to 1 mpg).
        * Available in two kits (5500 RPM max and Over 5500 RPM).

Part numbers and Price

        73653K 12 1.6 ratio v6 $316
        73654K 12 1.7 ratio v6 $316

        73655K 16 1.6 ratio v8 (5500 rpm max) $422
        73656K 16 1.7 ratio v8 (5500 rpm max) $422

        73655PK 16 1.6 ratio v8 (over 5500 rpm) $535
        73656PK 16 1.7 ratio v8 (over 5500 rpm) $535

 The PK kits come with "pushrods (.050" longer than stock) and guide
plates."

Hope this helps and sorry if you have a pre 94.

John
