The connecting rod's not gonna swap. The 198 is an earlier forged crank engine and the '80 is a cast crank. They changed in the mid '70's. The rods won't fit because the journal width's changed.

For speed parts like roller rockers, call Cox Bros Fabrication. They are listed in the "network" section - 614-268-9920.

alot of people will tell you that the rollers are crap and need a oil spray bar while this is a good idea for positive oiling it is not really necessary for street aplications get a cox high vol oil pump and watch the gears every thousand miles for a while if after say 5 thousand miles all is still well its a good gear. Talk to the cox boys they are very knowledgable and will back their product
