We have the BB Edelbrock Victor heads on it and I'm curious as to who has what kind of luck with various rockers. We like Jesel but they arent in the budget and Crane is about 4 months out. J.C.

Went to Jesel and havent had any issues. Where the ones you broke the heat treated ones that Hughes sells now with the blue dots on them for the heat treated identification ?

That said, they are close to the valve cover rail on the pushrod side so had to clearance valve cover flange to slide over studs without hitting rockers. I doubt you could use stamped steel covers without interference.I used fabricated aluminum covers. 8144535-vhhs.jpg (102 downloads) Sworn Member Central Valley MoPar Drag Pack.

Does Crane offer them for the Victors now with offset intakes? If Crane doesn't make them a whole lot stronger than what they have now, they're not going to hold up to big spring pressure, either.
