Re: Stock Rockers On These Heads?

Are you using these heads on an LT1? Can't tell by your sig what it's going on engine-wise.

If so, wrong part #

TFS-30400010 assembled for LT1

TFS-3042B010 bare for LT1

As far as reusing the rockers.. 'eh.. I'm not sure what size stud is on the assembled trick-flows. Stock is 3/8"

Wow what a question. Why would you use non roller type rockers on a $1200.00 set of heads that won't work on a Gen II block anyway.

As far as the stud size, they are the same but that's only a small part of the equation. You have to be concerned with spring height, diameter, etc.....

Still same question, why? Why wouldn't you buy good roller rockers to use on high $ heads atop a high dollar SB?

Dont have any money, and dont trust the cheap roller tips I have on now. If they fit, I will use them. Not everyone can spend top dollar on parts. I got the heads used for $800
