Ive read some Good reviews about the source rockers. Cam is solid 250 256 560 108 Springs 350 max open 74 dart sport 440 www.Csucarbs.com

They were like $170 for a complete set, shafts, rockers spacers etc. They were bushed. Do your self a big favor, stay away from any cheap rocker that uses needle bearings...

Ive read some Good reviews about the source rockers. Cam is solid 250 256 560 108 Springs 350 max open How about a standard Crane or Isky adjustable rocker? I had a set on ported 452 iron heads with an Ultradyne 590/613 cam in a 440. Street and strip, they ran for years. It would be nice to see or hear proof of (Source) or (Proform) roller rockers that can outlast the standard performance rocker. Is the H.P. that big of a gain to make it worth it? Snap your neck, mega G-force launch, is all I want!

Good adjusters good machining good Roller tips! I wish there was some out there with miles on them And a report card 74 dart sport 440 www.Csucarbs.com

I wish there was some out there with miles on them And a report card Looks like they don't offer the old standard adj. rocker like the Crane or Isky from years back. I think the Mancini's would be a better choice than the (Source) rockers. Snap your neck, mega G-force launch, is all I want!
