Question Roller Bearing Conversion on Ford Rockers.

Is it legal to use the Crane Roller Bearing Conversion kit with OEM Rockers for the Fords in stock, and if so is anybody using them?

Some have been using that for maybe 20+ years. Ford once offered that as a Trans-Am type service item.
You do know you can use a full roller rocker now, right? Must be same configuration as OEM mounting.

To my knowledge, you are NOT allowed to use the Crane conversion kit for a rollerized fulcrum.
