I have been reading over and through all the 440 Source issues with their rocker arms. I have decided to not use them. Now I have to find someone who wants to gamble and buy them.

I have alot invested in my my motor, I don't want to grenade it from a part I skimped out on.

I have a 500cid, 11:1, Comp Cams .541 Roller Hyd., Comp Cams Roller Hyd. Lifters, Edelbrock 84cc heads. Thats about $4500 worth of parts and machine work right there.

I am just overcome with the needle bearings falling apart on the 440 Source parts train. I have the Crane ductile iron Mechanical adjust rocker arms on my 906s on the current motor. I wont be revving past 6000. She is a Saturday Night bruiser.

I need some recommendations for a rocker arm. Do I stay with my adjustable rockers, do I buy some Crane golds...do I donate some blood and get the Harlands?

Hughes makes a nice rocker arm that would work okay for that application.
