Title: 460 Stamped steel 1.7 rockers?
Post by: Crash225 on October 08, 2006, 09:06:57 PM

I just saw in MM&FF that someone used 1.7 ratio rockers on their 85 302 with E7's. Is that a bolt on deal or is there some machining to be done? I'm wondering if the rockers are heavier than 302 rockers maybe necessitating better springs. If one of you guys could clear this up it may be a cheap hop up for my SO 5.0 motor (until I make the HO cam swap). I already have the HO heads. Thanks

You could probably pick up a set of true roller rockers in 1.7 ratio brand new for $250. Not worth upgrading if you're gonna go with stamped steel in a higher ratio IMHO.

Just me being cheap again. Guess I'll just wait till I get the cash. Thanks
