I did a search and all I found was "best" roller rockers. I'm trying to save weight in the valve train. I am running LT4 valves and titanium retainers on the new set of heads. They are going on a lighter weight bottom end. Trying to figure out which rockers offer some weight savings and don't really sacrifice quality to get there. I'm only running a Crane227 cam so they don't have to be able to take huge amounts of abuse. I am running 7/16ths studs too if that matters. Anyone have a suggestion?

 

My 1.65 Harland Sharps are not all that heavy. I bought some 1.65 Crower Enduro rocker arms and they are heavier than the Harland Sharps. Tony Mamo at AFR says to go with an aluminum rocker arm.

 

These are what I've been looking at for my build:

Those were my first choice. Just getting opinions.

How mush power did those harland sharps 1.65 add i was thinking about going with those for a little more lift than the 1.6s...what all would i need with those, springs?

 

Sure a light valvetrain is nice, but you want strength too.

If you want a lighter rocker, use the Crane Golds or equivalent aluminum-bodied. They are overall lighter, but some people say they shift weight over the tip of the valve stem. I personally use the Crane Golds.

 

CC Pro Mags seem to be the popular choice and they are for good reason. I think that's where I am leaning.

 

I run the cc pro mags also. A buddy of mine has a lingenfelter impala ss that has the same rockers also.

 

You really cant beat them for the price. Thanks for the input.

 

If it were me, I'd throw on the 1.7 Scorpion's you have.

 

"How mush power did those harland sharps 1.65"

I'm in the process of building the motor so no results yet. I have the AFR 195 Competition heads and I want to give the heads all the air they can handle.

 

much i guess i need to slow my typing down...and thanks.

 

aluminum rockers have a heavier operating wt.

crower is a very light rocker over the tip.....

 

Just be aware that it's moment of inertia that matters not static mass.

The Comp Hi-Tech are advertised as having low "rotating weight" but I've never seen any numbers to support the claim.

 

Why would I use the 1.7s?

This is what I am looking for. Over the tip is what I am concerned with.
