Rocker Arms for Hydralic Cam

[avidflyr]

Building a 400 B Block for me 64 Polara ,with a Hughes Cam, KB Pistons,9.5 CR, Iron Heads, bigger Valves,etc. Time for new Rocker arms (adjustable?) and shaft assembly.
There are $800+ assemblies which are overkill (maybe) for a street build. Anything American made (OEM or better) recommended, no Chinese Junk need apply .

You want adjustable rocker arms. I went with Hughes, not the least costly, but sure seem to be a quality product. Over the years I've used the Isky & Crane iron rockers. They work OK but they do wear. But I ran them at fairly high RPM's. The less expensive product like the 440 Source might be Ok. Not sure where they're made these days. The Hughes setup is solid, quality.

Mancini seems like a really good option.

If you're running a hydraulic cam, why not keeps the stock rocker shafts?

That was my thought....if you don't "need" adjustable rockers, why add the extra expense & maintenance? You'll have to set your valve lash just like a solid lifter cam, they cost $, and they don't get you any horsepower. The only advantage I see with adjustable rockers and a hydraulic cam is maybe if you have excessive block & head milling and you can't easily measure what you need for a custom-built set of pushrods.
