Re: 1982 350 new heads questions

Factory vortecs on the 350hp crate motor have almost .480" lift with the 1.6 rockers they run. If chevy will warranty it then it must work ok.

Putting vortecs on a basic 8.5:1 350 is a great idea. You'll get about factory vortec 350 compression. You could get used oem rockers if you want to go really cheap. I prefer the oem vortecs to aftermarket versions but that's just me.
