Opie272, You can run the 1.8's on the exhausts if you want, but if I remember correctly it's on the intake side that you get the benefit. JimV is the one who told me this and I think he did some dyno testing with some different rocker arm ratios. JimV's number is 616-735-0800.

Okay. Back to one of my original questions:
I'm a shadetree mechanic at best (did the mods below myself). Can I do this swap myself CORRECTLY? How difficult is the adjustment procedure?
I actually trust myself more because I will take 8 hours if necessary to do the job right.

Assuming you can get the valve covers off without removing the exhaust manifolds, it is quite simple. I though think this change in and of itself will have no noticable positive affect. Maybe a little gain if you change the ratio, but don't know if you were thinking that. Really nothing wrong with the stamped rockers in a stock application.

YOU DON'T JUST THROW ON ROCKER RATIOS AT RANDOM IN ALOT OF CASES IT WILL HURT !!!!!! IT DEPENDS ON CAM AND RPM RANGE YOU WANT TO RUN MOST BB CAMS A GROUND AND FIGURURED FOR A 1.7 SOME BLOWER MOTERS WITH A BAD EXHAUST PROFILE CAM WILL BENIFIT FROM 1.8'S OR BAD MANAFOLDS WOULD ALO BENIFIT
N/A MOTORS WITH POOR INTAKE WILL BENIFIT FROM 1.8'S
BUT THIS IS REALLY ONLY A BAND AID
CROWER AND COMP ROCKERS HOLD UP VERY WELL IN STEEL THEY ARE MUCH STRONGER AND HAVE LARGER BEARINGS
THE GOLD CRANES ?? WELL CHECK THEM OUT THEYRE KNOWN TO LOOSEN AND FAIL ON OCCASSION
SCORPION IS A PRIVATE LABEL HARLAND SHARP
