I found these new on the ebays, 1.6 ratio and they're new, so we will see how they do. These are about half the cost of stage 5, and I wanted the stage 5's but with all the other stuff I had to buy I thought I would give these a shot. I also won the bid on a new set of Mopar Performance black valve covers, with breathers, gasket and tubes for like $350, was that a good price? What yall think about these?

You had better check your spring diameter.The mopar valve covers are not clearenced for the big springs.The Stage V valve covers have bowed out spot for every spring.

The Mopar cast covers are clearenced on the inside for the larger springs. 
 its just the stock covers have clearance problems.
I think those are the rockers made by Mega Parts. Never seen them in person, but they should be hundred times better than the Mopar restoration stock non-roller rockers and only half the price too.
If I build a stock type Hemi, I might go for a set of those to try them out.

I got rod and main bearings in today.
I might actually get to mock this thing up for the first time.
We're running a Ron's flying toilet now and I bought an old tunnel ram last year I guess we will use, so we will have two toilets on this engine.
Any suggestions on something better than the two four tunnel ram?
14/71 
mechanical injection is the way to go to me. and when you pop the hood, you got two throttle bodies atop a tunnel ram

Anyway to confirm that ? If those are the rockers that come from an ebarf seller in canada that was selling cheap offshore knock offs that had HORRIBLE GEOMETRY I'd be VERY LEARY of them .
good luck 
I'm not sure if they are the same ones made by Mega Parts, but the price is similar and how many people are trying to make them. If they are the Mega Parts ones, they should be alot better than Mopar Performance stock replacement. Mild motor build, well worth the savings in my opinion.
