Since it didn't say nothing about Rocker Arms until the very last I assumed it they recommended rollers period. Andy the cam I was going to use was a 232-238 grind and 514/532 hydraulic I think. I was still wanting it to be very streetable and make long trips but would like the extra hp these heads bring also and run a dual plane intake also. I really wasn't wanting to buy the roller now but if I had to I would break down and buy them. What are sidewinders? With a 514 hyd cam you could run stock rocker arms. You might double check the spring specs since you might need to swap in a softer spring to work with the stock rocker arms. So that combo will work, it just isn't what the heads are designed for.

Any chance of building a small block head I'm not saying it isn't possible down the road, but currently there isn't anything on the drawing board.

Andy I might just go ahead and get the roller rockers. Will that cam still make a good combo with those heads and a dual plane intake or what do you suggest?...

Any standard rocker arm will work, but Harland Sharp makes a short and a long. Our head will require their short rocker arm. How does somebody tell the difference between the "long" and "short" Harland Sharp rockers? I don't see anything on their web site that says this.  X1.. I have mine HS rockers 1.5 since -91. Used them on 906 and Eddy RPMs do I have short or long arms I'm not sure which are the ones you have but the heads you have , mainly the ebrocks , are the reason for the new ones. I just looked at the sharp website and they don't list them , I THINK the Mancini branded rockers are the SHORT sharps.
running up my post count some more .

Free research for you prospective (or committed) Trick Flow head purchasers:
Trick Flow PowerPort 240 1.560 Spring
Valve Springs, Option 2: 1.560" o.d. dual spring with damper
240 lbs. @ 2.000" installed height
600 lbs. @ 1.280" open
500 lbs. per inch rate
.700" max. valve lift
TFS-16318-16 Spring
Inside Diameter of Outer Spring (in): 1.136"
Inside Diameter of Inner Spring (in): 0.750"
Trick Flow Ti Retainers (the only TF P/N I found that would match the TFS-16318 spring):
-------------------- OD ----1st Step - 2nd Step - Retainer
TFS-214T0525 --- 1.500 -- 1.110 -- 0.710 ---- 10* (+.050")
My experience w/ running Ti retainers on the street w/ springs having steel dampers hasn't been great, in that the dampers will definitely cut into the Ti retainer, yet a chro-moly steel retainer isn't fazed by this. So, I did some research on retainer options, specifically tool steel, for those who may want to swap out the Ti retainers for just that reason.
I don't know if the retainers w/ the 1.140" step OD for the outer spring will actually fit the TF-supplied spring since its ID is listed as 1.136". Not sure if those could be installed as a press-fit, or if that's simply too large to work w/o reducing the retainer step OD. IMO, the tighter fit, the better. However, it also looks like some of the other tool steel retainers I've listed should still have a better fit to the spring than the Ti retainers I believe Trick Flow is using w/ their supplied springs.
FWIW, if I was buying some TFs for my application (.650"-ish solid roller for street/strip), I'd probabaly get some Manley 23647TS tool-steel 10* retainers and expect that the installed height may need to be corrected w/ the change in retainer brand.

I think what he is referring to is the 1.5 ratio and 1.6 ratio... I think what he's referring to is the pivot-to-roller-tip c/l distance of the standard BBM HS rocker being longer than ideal, which is the case for a number of aftermarket BBM heads. IIRC, Todd from Competition Wedge (NY) worked w/ Harland Sharp to come up w/ a shorter version to address this, but don't know what the end result was as far as HS offering them for any particular heads.

Why would you sell a head with these retainers if that's the case
