End stands ?

[gt350hr]

  Out here in the west , Ted Wells was one of the first to make his own end support stands. Paul @PSE copied them and took them to marked as "his" design.

In 1982 (18 years old) I designed and had a couple sets machined for my FE.

Has any on tried a set of Dove stands? I have a set that I was going to try at some point.

I installed a set of Dove's for a customer's engine build and found them very functional. The Dove design actually permits you to preload the rocker shaft toward the head and works well even with the, moderate-high pressure, solid roller springs. I doubt that I would recommend that rocker arrangement for a race setup utilizing race spring pressures; the individual shaft type race roller rockers are needed to take advantage of those ultimate spring pressures.

I also had good luck with DOVE ends stands, and even used stock replacement shafts with them, never broke a shaft with "street" roller cam springs. I have since upgraded to T&D race paired rockers, sure like them for several reasons. I was curious what spring pressures you run on your Super Stocker, and what RPM? Maybe something like 375/1050# and 8400RPM ish???
