please note that this is a 2 1/2 year old pic so it doen't look any thing like this now i have done alot since this pic

these pics do the truck no justice.... the truck has been sitting ever since i took these pics

obviously i haven't been able to do much to the body because i am in japan and can't really touch it

new question as well .. should i replace the rocker arms??

here is the situation

on my new project vehicle i am currently building my head

and a suggestion came up upon purchasing the cam of corse it was that i should replace the rocker arms when getting a new cam to prevent premature cam failure the specs of the cam are as follows:

232' DURATION @ .050 LIFT, AND .440 LIFT

the head already has all this stuff i just put in:

oversized valves
dual valve springs
new valve guides, seals, seats, titanium retainers
port and polish

so what do you guys think
