    Chevy Rocker feature is complete. First picture is the guide plate (not yet part numbered) and studs, second picture is with our TA 1309D-1.60 ($255) and the third picture is with our TA 1309D-1.60B ($125).

    Any Promised Dyno numbers for the 1st build? Low 12''s or high 11''s woud be a great formula. Rocker choices won't help those numbers.

    What kinda price would the heads be, if ordered with the screw in studs and guide plates, along with the roller 1.60:1 ratio rockers?

    I just know it would be faster, and done correctly, if TA did the work instead of local machine shops around here.

    We don't have firm pricing on the heads or guide plates yet, but I'm guessing $2900-$3000 for heads, guide plates, studs, rockers and machine work.

    You would need new pushrods as well; the setup we have used 9.875 for the cheaper rocker and 10.100 for the other

    Those are some hefty looking rocker studs. Kinda points out why the experimental stud conversions on here a couple years back failed. Kudos for doing it right.

    Jim, Look like 7/16" studs. It was the Allen hold down bolts that failed on the steel bar set up. No problem here with that. I noticed the pushrod holes are closer together than the valve tips instead of straight across like SBC and SBF.

    They are, around the same as the BBB pushrod to valve offset, IIRC is around .080".
