I’ve got several nice new ones.
Private msg your address & I’ll send you one tomorrow.

The T&D race rocker requires head work.  The head has to be milled down on the top so that a common bar can be placed on it.  The bar is held down by the head bolts/studs and individual paired rockers bolt to the common bar. 

You can't buy individual T&D rockers that will work with any shaft and stand.   Most of the T&D rockers have needle bearing fulcrums and do not use standard FE shafts.

Will you be doing a batch of adjustable rollers anytime soon Brent ?

The spring pressure with the rocker arms is something to watch, but the spring pressure with the heads is something that really has to be focused on.  Large spring pressures will pull traditional rocker studs clear out of the heads and I’ve had it happen at 600 lbs with aluminum heads.  If you have no desire to cut the heads and go to a T&D race rocker, I would look closely at putting a bigger insert in those heads.

My rockers are made by Harland Sharp but I had them put a cup pushrod seat in them so that pushrods are easier to get.  A cup end pushrod has never been an optimal option as it introduces pushrod sweep into the system.  It also adds to the cost of the pushrod.

Hi Brent,
Here are the specs of my heads done by you.
Thoughts ?
If you think T&D is the right rocker, I’ll go that route.
Thank you !


Does anyone know the T&D part number by chance ? (I’d like to just get the rockers as I’ve got new shafts end stands etc)


Here's the specs for your heads:

*BBM Ford FE castings
*SI stainless 2.190", 11/32" intake valve, 1.650", 11/32" exhaust valve
*45° seat, 30° back-cut on intake
*Chambers measured at 72.8cc
*Valve spring install height nominal 1.920"
*Comp 731 titanium retainers
*Comp 4776 spring locators
*Comp 611 valve locks
*Comp 529 Viton valve seals
*PAC 1245 valve springs
*Valve spring pressures 285/635
*Coil bind at 1.200"
*Coil bind clearance .070"
*.095" retainer to seal clearance

Hi
Looking for some honest opinions.
Ready to purchase a new set of roller rockers (adjustable) I love Doug & his rockers, but some have broken on me in the past.
Who do you recommend? I need to put my mind at ease running this thing. All the best & stay safe & healthy in 2021..

1) Finnegan misspelled "Galaxie", and thus has eliminated himself from our hobby.

2) Even if you are hacks like those guys, you can't rush anything FE and have success.

3) The only engine I have that's assembled and on a cradle, is a correct-numbers '64 stock-stroke High Riser. I don't think a podunk operation like Motor Trend can afford it.

4) No way would I want my illustrious reputation tarnished by association with Favid Drieberger and Fike Minnegan, who spend more time on the side of the road than a cast concrete curb.

5) They will screw up this Gal and it will disappear down the MT Rabbit hole.

Love it. Spot on !!
