The last set of Crane iron rockers I put on a BB was in 2005.
I want to say they were $300 for the rockers and separator springs.
Then add in a pair of shafts.

The last price I remember seeing on them was almost $500.

The ones from 2005 started wearing the adjuster screws down on the dyno.
They were wearing fast enough so that I had to lash the valves every two pulls.

A set of smith brothers adjusters cured that problem.

My go to “budget” rockers now are the HS made Mancini pieces.

I picked up a set of MOPAR originals at MOParty a few weeks ago. I was happy to find them because they are few and far between. I kept thinking Mancinin might come out with a set since they already have new small block rockers that are affordable.
At least if a rocker does break you stand a good chance nothing else gets killed. I've seen stamped rockers punch through due to excessive springs and it just killed the rocker and the push rod. Everything else was ok. I had to ask why such springs and they rattled off something about floating the valves in some car years ago. LOL,

I wish the HS/Mancini rockers were available for heads that require offset rockers (w small block and victor big block)

Sorry but per "The Price is Right" rules, you OVERBID by $0.05, and furious took the safe bet by bidding 1$. He still wins as long as the sale price is as stated $249.95 !!

Nickel...

Sounds like my last engine build. Nickel and dimed to death.

It would be nice if they would take the time to correct the geometry to work with their own heads. Original Cranes and Isky irons are way off with Eddy, Trickflow, and Stealth heads. Harland sharps Eddy style rockers worth the extra $. Eliminates the need for this kind of BS:

Gotta love spending double the money for a half-*** solution !!

They are now available.

Looks like they beat Manicini to it.
