Everybody wants to shift their 9 second or slower small block Mopar engines at 8000 RPM. Except me, LMAO.

RPM=Ruins People Motors lol

EDIT, I didn't realize this was such an old post and I had already said this haha

Ran w2 heads for many years with mopar 590 cam...and 3/8 pushrod,,,1st several years with bushed ductile mp rockers..and then last time with crane 1.6 aluminum using the same pushrods...never had to grind the rockers.

Dang nab it, they are TA rockers. Still think I can fix everything and use em with smaller diameter PRs.

If they are original TA OEM rocker...I would sell them and find something else..

How much are they worth and what else is out there? Seems anything else is $1000+ is there anything cheaper that will work ?

There was a guy over at FABO looking for a set of TA rockers...I bet they are worth pretty close to a grand...if they are in good shape.

Crane still has the left and right w2 rocker 1.6 ratio available at summit...and the exhaust are just standard A engine rockers...

stands are available from link below which are less expensive then MP..the shafts are the killer...about 300 bucks for a set since they are offset drilled.

I have stands and shafts already, I guess I could sell the rockers and just buy new rockers to slide on them.

Actually now I look at it more it looks like someone offset drilled the hole in the TA shafts to work on W2 heads, is that acceptable? I did all that work getting geometry where I wanted now I am going to have to do it all over...

I guess I should be clear can I use the crane rollers on the stock bannana groove shaft? Could I use the cranes on the intakes and bushed and nutted 273 rockers on the exhaust?

The Cranes and the Mopar brand are extruded aluminum, not ductile iron so the shafts need to match the rocker material I don't now if your shafts for the ductile iron will work or not Call Crane and ask for Chase Knight and ask him

dont know why not...the exhaust w2 is a standard rocker..so if the standard crane roller rocker will work a stock bannana grove shaft...and it works on a offset drilled shaft...

I ordered two lefts and two rights 1.6 rockers today...need a couple spares before they stop making them...LOL

I have posted this picture in the past, but I will show it again now. It should help those who are not aware of the larger offset that the W2/W5 intake rocker arms had over the T/A intake rocker arms.
