are there any cheaper rocker arms than the t&d for $1000? that would work on the afr 227 heads?
thanks

 

Check with Crane Cam's.

 

in the for sale section there are some jesel shaft mountes for sbc/lt1 for like $500

would any of these work?
thanks

 

those would work, but i dont think you can use a center bolt valve cover with them

 

can i still use otvc? and what covers would fit afr 227 heads that are not centerbolt?

 

Jesel makes an "economy" shaft rocker setup for about $650. But the people who tried them (K Mook was one) didn't like them.

 

i tried the jesel site and i cant find a place where to buy them though? and what were his complaints? oh ya and crane doesnt make any for who said to try them, so im not sure what to still buy yet thats not too much?

scroggins dickey sells jessel ss series shaft mounts, i have no experience with them so i cant really recommend them. if you know what part number you need with the 227's sdpc probably sells it even if it isnt listed just use the search function, or call em.

 

Do a search on "Jesel" or on user name "kmook". I know he had some problems with them, but it was a couple years ago and I can't remember specifically. He doesn't seem to post much any more.

 

AFR 227s have a 60/40 valve spacing and require a specific P/N for them. You can not use the SS series Jesels. Have to use the next step up, some T&Ds or some Crowers.

Ya can also use stud mounted RR's. They will sit at an angle to the head like a TFS head on a Ford.

 

so arent normal ones stud mounted?

 

Yes

 

From what I understand if you want to use a stud mount your best choices is to buy some .150 offset Isky's. $200 for a set of 8 .150 offset and $200 for set of 8 standard.
