    adding Guide Plates

    They are stock 906 vortecs on a carbed motor, the rockers are from the old smog heads that were on the truck. I have just seen all of the guide plates held down by something but I dont have anything securing them except the pushrods.

    Vortec head swap?

    Ill be corrected if im wrong im pretty sure you either need self aligning rockers arms or pushrod guide plates. My question about this build is whether when i put my vortecs on am I going to need premium.

    Any Father/Son trucks out there?

    My father and I bought a house as an investment and were in need of a pickup for moving stuff around.
