Default LS7 rocker arms

Who is making after market rocker arms for the LS7 heads? How about shaft mount?

I have the proto-type crower shaft units and used them for 3 years now. U can get them in stainless or now in aluminum (so I am told). I had used crowers like these in extreme off-sets in sbc motors w/ welded/re-shaped intake runners, and have yet to see a failure or have an issue w/ reliability. I would opt for the aluminium units over stainless for the more aggressive Hyd. rollers.

Another thing to consider is that these require machining the rocker bosses on the stock heads, while aftermarket head provide the proper surface and supply u with the proper stands if u choose to run stock-type rockers.

Default Shaft Rockers

Don't all the shaft types need the rocker arm pedistals milled flat for the mounting of the shaft systems?

On a stock LS7 head, yeah I'm sure they do.
