but then you have to buy studs, guide plates, rockers, i priced out stud machine work on my old gt40's at $250(friend price) machine work.Zero Signal said:Last I checked those where something like $325. Which would probably be more than going stud mount. I figure the machine work to go stud mount would be less than $100.
that's kinda what i am thinkin.Zero Signal said:Still, I remember thinking the price on those rockers was pretty decent considering they are adjustable and semi-shaft mount.
that is what i am running also, but i am just curious how they would compare to a stud mount style. if they do it would be worth the money to do these instead of going through the hassle of converting. mine are starting to get some miles on them and i am getting a new shortblock here soon and want to replace all my high miles stuff.GreenMustangGt said:i am just running the crane cobra style ped roller rockers, i bet most people dont want to spend over 180.

Not sure but, IIRC, I want to say I've seen a post or two about those rr's and peeps reporting massive failures.
The kind of failures that allowed exploded bits of rocker to get down in the motor.
I'd do a search on the various boards and see what you turn up.
I just somehow sense a red flag of caution here
btw ... be sure to search hardcore

j/k thanks for the heads up, i came close to ordering a set today.
and after a quick search i think they will be fine for what i am doing, although i will be doing more research this week.
final5-0 said:One more quick thing Ben!
It was the words "yella terra" that caught my eye.
The rockers you are talking about may not be the same as I mentioned as you did say those were made by yella terra.
Those rr's do look beefy in the pic you posted
In no way did I want to be the bearer of bad news
Again ...... 10 minutes of search research ain't too bad of a price to pay for peace of mind

bimmertech said:i hear ya about the research, i am familiar with the yella terra name from all my LS1 side job days.
however the sentiment seems to be the harland sharp setup is pretty good and with more folks able to comment on them i might lean in that direction.
who knows, i'm gonna call steeda and a few engine builders and see what the skinny is, thanks for the help.
