Welcome to the jungle 
I have 2 systems... one is the blue MP (which is a
Crane rocker) and 2nd is TD... the TD is a better system
if you are into a bigger cam... I should also state
that both of these are roller cam engines in the .650
or better lift

IMO if this is a new build your only choices are Harland Sharp, Jesel or T&D. Since Crane and Erson are no longer around it limits the options.  Mike Gray

590 lift M/P mechanical cam, original W2 ductile iron rockers. I`ve never broken one since I started using them over 15 years ago. But then again we have a little " trick" we use which I`m sure helps. A very thin roller bearing between each rocker on the shaft.

My point was that there are only a few manufacturers still in business. Crane, MP (Crane), Erson and Norris all made good pieces but are no longer around so if you buy a set of them used and break one your good luck finding replacements. Just ask me how I know! Mike Gray

Norris is still making then...i just talked to then 3 days ago and he is sending me my w2 replacement rockers..
I know they had some loose rockers. (not enough to make up a full set)
but, unless something has changed from a few weeks ago, they aren't
making anymore. 
It would be nice though.
