Will max wedge rocker arms work on 915 BB heads? - 01/29/09 11:43 PM
Wanting to install adjustable rocker arms as part of my 67 440 HP engine build, can I use max wedge ductile iron rocker arms on my 915 heads and if so what changes will I have to make.
Thanks

Sure, they should just bolt on there.

If they are used I'd reccomend sending them to RAS for a rework, he does REALLY nice work and if you want to upgrade with new shafts and collars he has top notch stuff. I had mine done there and they came out awesome.

Yes, sounds like they were on 62/63 286 MW heads (which require the stands) 64 518 heads did not. The rocker shafts and all will bolt on the 915's no problem.

Are they less/more than 1.5?

They should be the same as stock, not too far off 1.5 but as mentioned, a shade off. I think I paid about $500.00 which included new chrome shafts, refurbish the tips, and aluminum collars instead of springs, and all new adjusters, that was about 4 years ago.
, thanks!!
