Is there a rocker that I can use that’s reasonably priced, such as the mancinis, or just a standard harland sharpe?
I am not gonna spend almost 1k for the cylinder head specific harland sharpes. Also I am only running a 274@050- .620 net lift w 1.6 rocker. Solid lifter.

I did all the work for you. 270 heads and 240 heads use the same rocker arms.

I def wouldn’t “scrimp” on rockers for a .620 lift cam in a race car........ but you should be able to use something for less $$$ than the recommended HS rockers.

I test fit some Comp Pro Magnums at one point, I seem to remember them looking okay.
I have some 270’s here...... I’ll check it again when I’m looking those heads over.

Thank you fast68. I don’t plan on just scrimping but I don’t see the point in spending 1k when I’m only running a 400lb spring.
