I am surprise it took you 5 broken stock rockers to replace them...

probably going to need a set of pushrods for either hydrualic or solid lifter cam...

Crap, Hey I can get ya a phone number of a local CHEVY engine machine shop who can straighted "ANY" bent pushrod... LOL.

He has stated to many guys around town he has done it many times.

He also Has a bad rep, and a good rep for blown up parts...

Sorry too see that. Glad all ya hurt was that.

Ouch! Just out of curiosity, how fast did you go on a stock set of rockers?

No they were plain old stock, I could have bought HD but decided to go with 1.6 rollers instead for future build possibilities.

I had an E stock 71 340 duster, and broke many just like that. we had to use stock rockers. They usualy broke doing the burnout. We caried about a dozen extras.


Yes I live in Michigan, so there is still 1 light on

Every engine that I've had ran the best ever just before it broke.
