Rocker Arm selection

Boys I need some advice on rocker arm selection. The heads are a set of ported and flowed 452's, Ferrea 5000 series SS, 2.14/1.81. I'll be using a MP grind .509 lift cam with matched valve springs from MP. 500 ci. bottom end.

This will be a street engine with odd trips to the strip. What rocker arm will give best bang for the buck? Alot to choose from these days...full roller, bushed w/ roller tip, steel stamped...

Bottom line, reliablility and go fast for the $.

Thanks in advance...Jeff

I've had multiple issues with Indy rockers coming apart

I run the MP 1.5 aluminum rollers with 2.18/1.81 valves, and the MP .590 flat tappet cam. I think these rockers were made by Dove for MOPAR. Never had a problem with them. I also use the MP chrome rocker shafts.

Thats the kind of input I need...thanks.

Anyone have any experience with Pro Comp? I found a set of shaft mount units (Red) at a more than reasonable price. The Furd and Chebby guys have mixed reviews. 1.5 ratio, T-6061 Al, said to be good to 750 lbs of spring pressure.

Google "Pro Comp rockers" Appears to be lots of problems - negative feedback on various forums. As far as Indy goes, a prominent Mopar engine builder here in Pittsburgh uses them regularly/exclusively and I don't know of any failures? Not saying that someone can't have problems but that's our experience

Thanks. Too good to be true as usual. Just want to spend my dollars wisely.

I know what you mean. I put alot of consideration on the rockers and was just about to pull the trigger on the Crane Golds when I asked our guy here and he recommended the Indys. So far so good for me, 2 years and running strong.

Once again...thanks, durability is key.

Me personally, you can't go wrong with a set of Max Wedge adjustables or equivalent. I just bought a set of cranes. Isky makes a nice set too.

I agree with the old ductile iron rockers crane or isky...or if funds allow I would chose the Harland Sharps. Not too expensive and very good quality.

check out comp pro magnums. good bang for the buck. matched with some smith bro.s pushrods you,ll be good to go

Thanks boys, knowledge is wealth...
