    Mike, can a old set (shafts) be retrofit with those rockers and if so how much ?

    Is it possible to buy just the rockers and use the hardware we already have to complete the install?
    Cheers

    I asked Mike about reusing the shafts he said T&D does not give him a better price actually cheaper to buy it complete might as well keep the shafts for spares unless you have supports and your valve covers like me sooner or later you'll break a shaft anyway

    Why keep playing around with a full rail bar with rockers when you can go individual shaft mounted rockers and eliminate aton of your problems. So what if it don't look Buick. Roller rockers were never on factory Buicks.

    Just reading this Rod...so did the narrow rocker eliminate the need for offsetting the rocker? Are the stands milled off so rockers can be lowered and mounted to the head itself? Thanks

    Wow, Those look really well made. I would have went that route too.

    I'm still baffled in why run the shaft type rockers when you can mill off the towers and have a plate made to run individual shaft mount rockers. More stable, more accurate. At this level in Rods engine, I would of went my route.
