Default crane energizer

i have a buddy that has a used set maybe 10k. i know they are a full roller and i can get them for free. my question is are they worth it? he is including arp pro studs and trick flow guide plates i just have to get pushrods. the part number in question is 11746-16 and they will be on my 355 that i will be putting a crane 227 cam in it when i get the block back in a week. and i have the 10308-1 crane spring kit. i dont plan on spinning the motor past 6k will these rockers be ok for just street driving. i put maybe 5k a year on this car.

If they are in good shape, like no dings in them, they should be fine. What someone will likely ask is "why is he not using them anymore?"

You shouldn't need studs unless he had them bigger than stock. Ours are already screw in.

Go for it! You'll be happy with them. You will need the studs since you're adding guide plates.

Are the rockers self-aligning? Do you you need self-aligning? Aren't the "Energizers" a "wide" rocker? Will they clear the underside of the valvecovers, assuming you have centerbolt heads?


Just a few points to consider......
