Don't buy junk. How is that for a suggestion? Check with Mancini,they used to sell a non needle bearing Harland Sharp rocker that is good. Also watch for a good used set of Isky iron ductile rockers. They pop up here from time to time.

Chinese rockers better than stock.

Oxymoron there.

Not gonna find Chinese rockers better than stock.

They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Don't do it!! I had a set of Chinese rockers given to me they broke while breaking in the cam, made a mess out of a Indy head. Harland Sharp after that I learned my lesson.

I`ve said it before and will likely say it again.
Rocker arms is THE worst possible part to shop for by price.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I realize your asking about big block rocker arms but I noticed new iron adjustable arms at mancini for only $260 when new iron adjustables for the B R/B are over $400. I wonder why the LA arms are so affordable?

And I believe these are the Harland Sharpe high quality bushed arms for your engine.

Only adjustable B/RB rockers I see are aluminum and cost the same as the SB ones.

After searching online from what I can find Scorpion doesn't make rocker arms for Mopar (other than AMC). shruggy

They don't show Mopar ones on Scorpion's website, or at Summit or Jegs.

Why do you want rollers? unless you jhave lift over 550 it will do nothing for you. Over 550 they will help somewhat with less side load scrubbing. They will give you know power gain over a set of good doctile iron adjustables. Have you ever cleaned up an engine that the roller rocker came apart in? Even the spendy ones do.


Clean it, if it's Dirty. Oil it, if it Squeaks. But: Don't fix it, if it Works!

If more people could do there own hands on product testing and research as well as real world testing many myths could be displaced.

You can use import rockers if you do your homework as well as your own testing and QC.

That is apparent since the majority of us use china based cranks, connecting rods, ect... It just blows dont it to have to admit that our china based stroker kits work, but hey its all good because they are finished here...oook.

I use comp rockers alot, HS are not the chit as some make them out to be, they are simply idiot proof for the masses.

Try a jesel system and you will think the HS are in the same junk class as the HS.

Everything has there place and end user level common sense goes along way as well.

I received an email back on 8-10-2015 stating the following from Scorpion about producing rockers for Mopars:

""We are about to release the bb Chrysler rockers but the small block rockers are still in the prototype stage with no honest e.t.a..

Scorpion Racing Products, Inc.""

I had to look again to find the Mopar rockers on Scorpion's website.
They mainly put info about their stud mounted rockers and you have to look close to find the shaft mounted rockers.
Some of their links don't work.
If you click on catalog it's says "server not found".
