-1's are .800 offset right? They're not making those AFAIK, .650 is as large as they go. I don't know if prices are out yet. They weren't as of last weekend. S/F...Ken M

Weird... their web page in the link I posted on the other thread specifically mentions coverage for Indy 440-1 & Big EZ heads, yet the list of offsets available doesn't fit w/ that application.

Other than that, they're a complete unknown since "we" just kind of stumbled across them recently. They look like modified Hughes rockers IMO and don't use needle bearing fulcrums, either.

They have been making ford and chevy stuff for a
number of years... I know my buddy has had his for
3 or 4 years for sure.. he runs the chevy rockers
on his 460 ford.. with no issues at all and they
arent a Hughes

Yes, Scorpion has been around for some years. But this is their first Mopar attempt.

Didn't say they ARE Hughes rockers; I said they looked like modified Hughes. So, let me restate it differently: They look to have been INSPIRED to some extent by Hughes, although Scorpion has certainly added their own touches.

Scorpion rockers are made in the USA. Good stuff.

I have been very impressed with the 2 sets (BBF) I have owned.

Scorpion has 1 plant in Ocala. I think it's the Headquarters and the other is in or near Daytona.
Not sure if they are set-up for 'walk-in' retail traffic in Ocala or not?
It's been about a year since I was there.
Great people and once they get their products dialed in and released, it's very good stuff!

Call them! They've always been very helpful!
