Default will harland sharp rockers work with a solid roller set up?

hey everyone i am new here and had maybe a easy question for you. i am intersted in purchasing a 408 iron block ls1 with all the goodies and it has a solid roller camshaft. i came across a deal on the harland sharp rocker arms and just wanted to see if these would be compatible with the set up i mentioned. any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Yep they'll work just fine with a solid roller.

Yes,they need to be adjustable for a solid roller.no other way to adjust valve lash-hence the word solid.

Unless they have come out with an adjustable alternative, they will NOT work with a solid camshaft. You have to have an adjustable valvetrain to run a solid camshaft. Your best bet when running something of that nature would be shaft mounts such as the T&D or the Jesel Pro, not the SS (which are also non-adjustable). There are some stud type adjustables, Crane And Comp, but I would not use these with a motor of that serious of a setup due to stud flex.

OOps my bad, I thought the harland sharps were adjustable. If they're not adjustable then they wont work.

With a solid lifter setup, don't screw around with the rockers. As mentioned get the Jesel or T&D shaft mount. They are big money, but not as big as an engine rebuild!
