40/60 Valve spacing rockers/shaft mts?

Im looking for a set of shaft mount rockers for my heads which have a 40/60 valve spacing, any off the shelf sets that anyone knows of. If I can't find a set is there a roller rocker that will clear a 1.55 spring and can hold 600lbs of pressure?

Crower, Jesel and T&D all should have a shaft setup for you application.

What heads are you running with a 60/40 split? AFR 227s? Brodix Track I-Xs?

Im running a Track1x, where would you draw the line with spring pressures between a shaft mount setup and a roller rocker setup to justify the cost?

DRE's makes Comps Shaft Rockers from what I understand. I was interested in more information concerning their product, but their website definitely leads much to be desired.....have of it doesn't work....more importantly the SBC applications listing doesn't work.

Re: 40/60 Valve spacing rockers/shaft mts?

What is 40/60 spacing?, ie what is the
spacing betwen valves, also the offset of the intake
valve vs the cyl center line.

Same questions, standard spacing.

Lifter bores, what is the spacing, and
offset, from cyl center line?

Somewhere around 600# on the nose at max lift.and I would run a stud girdle at 500# and 7000RPM's. Stud rockers can take a lot more than people give them credit for,if set up correctly. But buy the time you buy studs,rockers,tall poly locks,and girdle you have almost got a set of shaft rockers and don't have to go through the brain damage to set the valves with shafts.
I am a dealer for DRE and you can buy direct and if need be they can make you most anything you need.

I have 600# of prsesure on the nose and will be spinning to 7600 rpm or so, think stud mounts will hold with this sort of pressure?

If you have good quality stuff,yes it should run a long time if set up correctly.
