Default What shaft mount rockers to get?

My rockers are pretty far off on the valve tips and I really don't have the time or people to help me install isky's. so I'm asking what is the best shaft mount rockers to get and where can I get them? Or you guys think I should tough it out and really try to bribe a friend into helping me? I just really wanna drive my car. Thanks in advance.

x 2, explain off the tips. You'll need the correct pushrod regardless. The Trickflow 30400623-8 plates work well with the stock head.

Obviously not very high enough to warrant the expense of shaft mounts, IMO.

DRE if you want the quality without the name markup.

They make the performance line shaftmounts for COMP.

That's how I feel. I know we almost have the same setup but yours is better. Did you have a problem with rocker alignment?

None whatsoever using the Crane Golds and the PAC springs.

I am spinning my engine to 7200rpm using stud mount rockers. As stated, no need for shaft mounts. If you have problems with alignment you can either go with Isky adjustable guide plates. I know RamAir uses a different set and has no alignment issues.

as said above shaft mounts are not needed in that setup.....run a good set of nsa rockers and you will be fine like the cranes mentioned above, Harland sharp, comp, etc.... measure for correct pushrod length and you will be fine.......if you are hell bent on shaft rockers the jesel sportsmans are a good price and a great rocker I run them on mine
