I had a set about 5 years back . But I sold the car they were for and then sold them . Back then I paid $109.00 . Man they looked heavy duty they were nice .

i not a big fan of roller tips all the friction is at the ball of the rocker and not much on the tip if you run a full roller rocker for 40.00 more .i have used crane builder . or blue racers .harland sharp.scorpions/howards cam.and other that are more money but if you go full roller i would not plan on seeing more then 10.000 miles on them you will need to pull off the valve covers and check them .i had harlands in my every day truck they had 30.000 on them they were getting abit looseIrish Diplomacy ..the ability to tell someone to go to Hell ,,So that they will look forward to to the trip

The trouble with the stock stamped type non Rollor tip rockers is . They should be 1.50 but many times they can be any were from 1.42 to 1.52 . The only stamped rockers that are true 1.50 are the Crane Nitro-carb steel ones . Also I have removed stamped rockers with 40K miles that the tips were worn and not reuseable . The Comp cams Magnum rockers are the best of both worlds . But on a low budget 327 I am building I will us a set of long slot stamped rockers to save on the build . But the 355 street/ strip gets roller rockers .
