Not sure if this is the correct forum, but In anticipation of the need for rockers for my 472 hemi, I would like some opinions on these .

I almost bought a set but then found this... http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=97150.0 I personally can't speak for the rocker assemblies though, sorry.

These are the way to go. With the already complex geometry of the Hemi, you need the adjustability that they offer. Well worth the extra coin.

Do not buy any of the stock OEM type Mopar Ductile iron rocker arms, the ratio are all over the place once you check them for lift at the retainers

I've check a bunch of them over the years, don't waste your money on them

Hemi are expensive, especially if you break one due to inferior parts

I like and have used Stage V

There are others out there that are good for street use also but none of them come to my mind right now, sorry

I have the DLI roller rockers on mine w/ the MP/KB stands. Don't think you can buy the DLI rockers anymore, so I'd be looking at Stage V. The Barton/T&D setup is awesome, but expensive.

I will be using the Edelbrock Vic JR alum. head. Will the stage V rockers work on that head?
Will they clear original valve covers?

Thanks again for the insight

Indy rollers rockers on mine...Might consider Barton T&D rockers in the future, but so far these have been all right. Avoid the ebay ones....You have been warned.
