May '71 429cobra jet heads have 3/8" rocker studs & guide plates but I can't find a stock replacement rocker arms assembly. 

Are these heads 'cobra jet' instead of 'super cobra jet' heads? 

Should I just R & R the 3/8" studs/plates and install 7/16" studs/guide plates? 

Will the 7/16" studs just screw-in the same hole or will the heads need to go back to the machine shop, again?

Does anybody make replacement rocker arms that don't interfere with stock 1970 cobra jet finned aluminum valve covers?

Any participation would be a good thing.  The bad thing is my 70TorinoCobra is still in the garage . . . Thanks for your help.
