Default Valvetrain set up

Im doing LE2 heads, with LE3 or LE 3.5 cam on a stock cube LT1, I have talked to Lloyd, and everything is a go.

The only thing i was wondering is valvetrain set up.

I want it to last, i hate redoing valvetrain.

I was thinking of doing a Jesel set up. Who else is running shaft mount rockers? What brand you running?


Thanks

Why not ask Lloyd himself and see what he says? He should recommend the springs that you should use.

IMO, Jesel shaft mount for your application is severe overkill. Pick up a set of Comp Camps Pro Magnum non self-aligning rockers, ARP 7/16" rocker studs, a good set of hardened (or chromemoly, if you have the dough) pushrods, and GM guideplates. That's plenty reliable.
