Default 1984 Mustang GT Looking To Upgrade My Rocker Arm Any Advice?

I have a 1984 gt w/ a 1990 roller motor that has been converted to carb. I would like to change my rocker arms to like a 1.7 ratio without going to studs and rollers. do they make 1.7 in torque down factory style? If so will it create a lash problem? I am trying to achieve a tad more lift and duration without going through changing so much stuff!
Is this possible?
I also need to know if 87-93 interior panels will work on 84 (rear post and rear side panels)

All u need to do is swap them out and torque to factory specs, no clearance issues or adjustments at all. But if u want to put in a bigger cam someday u need to go with the 1.6's so u wont have piston to valve issues with a big cam.

Not that I know of; but the 1.7 ford racing cobra rockers if I am not mistaken came on the 93 cobra stock.
