Will their rockers for their 360-1 & 360-2 heads fit a w5 head?
If so are they any good?

Also how long will the mopar/crane blue rockers hold up for a 230 lbs seat pressure and 630 open?

With those pressures, I'd want Erson or at least Harland Sharp rockers.
Shady Dell just finished 360-1 heads for me and I opted for T&D rockers over the Indy stuff...

I have those pressures with my W-5 and the Mopar
blue roller tip rockers... they've been fine...
I believe you need the offset shafts and stands
but to be sure I'd have to look at mine

Two harland sharps are broken and the geometri is poor.

I have the 360-2 heads and I needed some rockers. RyanJ told me the Indy rockers were ok for small cam stuff but wouldn't last but maybe 200 runs before they started breaking. I'm saving for T&D since I'm still building the motor.

I am using the Jesel sportsmen rockers(pushrod oil)on my w5's and couldnt be happier. Dont know how anything could work any better than these do, excellent geometry, and probably cheaper than Sharps even, and definately better.

Do the shafts have banana grooves?
On my shafts the holes in the shaft fit the oiling hole in the rocker to the roller perfect but not for the pushrod so im thinking either a banana groove or drill an extra hole to the pushrod hole.
Or is oil spread out on the whole inside of the rocker so i dont need to do anything?

The Harland sharps doesnt even have roller oiling.

I measured rocker ratio today.
The Harland sharps where spot on at 1,5 even on the intakes (which should be a little more than 1,5 cause of the p-r angle). The blue mopars where actually close to 1,56.
The mopars have near perfect geometry so i think im gonna use the mopars.

I'm pretty sure mine dont have banana grooves, its
been a while since I looked at that(engine is on
the stand, its a back up now). I have a set of TD's
that I'm fitting to the heads now

I dont know yet, how soon would you need them. I'd
have to take a look at them and see how they look
