Default New CHE Trunions

Has anyone seen the new trunion options from CHE that allow you to run LS rockers on Gen I/Gen II heads? They are a bit pricey, but they do include the rockers, at least according to the pictures.

the price is about 2x the cost of most full roller SBC/BBC stuff. what would the advantage be vs running a howards or comp roller rocker ?

Do Howards or Comp sell a 1.7 rocker for SBC?

Yes. Comp Cams kit 1817-16 however they are almost as expensive as the CHE's

Howards and Comp sell a lot of the 1.65:1 rockers in the $300-$400 range

As I said, they are expensive, but they are another option for those who want a steel rocker in a 1.7 ratio.

I also emailed CHE and they said they are looking into doing a kit without the rockers, which should make the price much more palatable.
