Cool items in SOHC 2.5 heads, convert a 2.2t head to these?

The 2.5 SOHC heads have some cool features, I wonder how easy it is to swap parts between them and the 2.2t heads.

Specifically Id like to get rid of the hydrolic lash adjusters and use the screw type adjustable units.

Roller rockers also seem cool.

The cam itself would have slightly different timing in order to compensate for the different contact spot for the rollers right?

How hard and which items would swap over?

You can take roller rockers from the 2.2 engines w/ single exhaust ports that are found in some of the 95 & 96 legacies.

Again, Rod G researched this, and is using the roller rockers on his 2.2T buildup. contact points won't change.

I could use roller rockers on my n/a Ej22 too.

Rod would be the one to talk to for more detailed info.
