I am pretty sure that is a big NO! First off the stock LS7 rockers are 1.8 and not 1.7 like the LS6 rockers. That is not really the determining factor because 1.6s can be used on the LS7 but may lose a bit of power.

If I am correct The real issue is that the exhaust rockers and the intake rockers are not the same as in the LS6, LS1, and LS2. One of the sets is offset and different then the other i believe so half of the rockers would work I think.

I could be wrong in this so I am sure someone else will chime in however I have a good feeling that i am mostly right

Sorry!!! If I am wrong though so wait to see what the more experienced members say.

Short answer....no. Sell them in the C5 section then get your stock rockers trunion upgraded and still have $$ left over.

Didn't Harland Sharp have an issue with a batch of bearings when they first started modifying them?

Yep and depending on when they were done they may or may not be a good idea.
