[C-Note]

Will the factory 1.73 roller rockers from a Gen3 fit in a Gen2??

I know the GEN3 T&D rockers do not work on a GEN2...

im pretty sure it can be done but they wont be adjustable.

Do they need to be? Are the factory Gen2 arms adjustable?
Does the Gen2 have hydrolic lifters? If so I guess I dont see the need for adjustment.

I have never been into my engine and I am thinking about starting in on it.

Thanks for the advice!!

Gen 3 are not roller rockers from what I understand too.

Gen III rockers are not rollers. But they are 1.7s and your Gen IIs are not.

The Gen III rocker will bolt on to the Gen II and will be a nice small performance gain. I sold the Gen III rockers off my Ram SRT-10 (upgraded to T&Ds) to a member here with a Gen II Viper. If you can pick them up cheap it is worthwhile, IMHO.

Thanks Red Snake!
The Gen three rockers are not roller tips but they are on a roller as far as the rocker its self are they not?

Are the gains even worth going through the labor to the swap???

Not sure what the gains are but I would think I could have it done myself in not much more than an hour.

Labor isn't bad when you do it yourself

Good point. I still think that if I'm going to start diving into the engine Id like considerable gains. The other option is to start piling up all your parts and only goin in once and get her all done and tuned at the same time.

Thats what i did...... Saved up all the parts over a period of time and did one build.....

On a Gen II cam, going from a 1.6 ratio to a 1.7 will yeild .40 extra lift taking it to .582. Every little bit helps
