    I"ve torn my engine down to check everything out and it looked pretty filthy!!!
    Anyhow I cleaned up the stock rockers, and they look pretty much beat. I have e-mailed T&D machine they build roller rockers that will work on a 300. They cost around $575.00 US(which equals about 6 million canadian!) which seams to be the going price for rollers. Even just a kit for regular rockers cost $300.00 for a rebuild deal at Year One!
    I'm curious what kind of horespower gains should be realised with a set of rollers? Also these rockers are sold in 1.5, 1.55, and 1.60 ratios, and I'm planning on a custom ground cam anyhow, so would it really matter which ratio I decided on as long as the cam grinder knew what ratio I would be using?
    I'm planning on making this thing work "pretty good":Brow: EG. dual exhaust, performance ignition,carb, etc,etc...

    :laugh: the stock rockers are 1.55:1 so if ya want any lift gain go with 1.6:1 most aftermarket cam specs are based on 1.6 anyways , does t&d have a web site if so post an address please
