rocker studs

OK, this is what i got --- a set of Trick flow heads with 3/8 studs, also got a set of crane rockers plus the cool nuts for very, very cheap (25.00) but they are 7/16. Question is do they have a stud kit with the 7/16 nut size but with the smaller base size to fit my heads??? I looked up summit, and they had a couple but they were for BB chevy.
If anyone knows of any could you give me some part #'s. I would rather just buy the studs than have to get new rockers and the nuts.

Thanks in advance

YOu could always have the heads machined to take 7/16 for fairly cheap.

Thanks for the reply Grumbles, but does anyone else have anything?? I know I could have them machined , I was trying to see if they made just the studs for them in the size I need. If not either machining or new/used rockers would be my best bet!!

AFIK all street type heads are tapped for same size... Mine came with 3/8" studs but I'd already ordered 7/16" studs and rockers, fit no prob...

Thanks Bud, I finally got off my a$$ (been sick for the last few days) and took one of my studs out,,,,,,and YES they are 7/16.
Now i am fixin to order some new studs. One more? ------will the crane rockers be OK with the trickflow heads, I have heard that you have to run the TF rockers with there heads, but then i see other people running different rockers!?

Thanks again

I have Crane's on mine, with probably 30K mi and 750 drag strip passes, no problem... Push rod length is what's critical, I run the longer flat tappet 289/302 chop sticks...
