I am also very tired of the damn ads popping up all the time. I will look into getting the ad blocker that has been mentioned. Sorry to hijack.

I had 440-1 heads on my low deck 512. 3/8 push rods. I did have to clearance the heads some why to keep from rubbing. No big deal. The cam had a lift of around .650” lift.

You can see some of the grinding I had to do on the deck and valley in this picture

And then there is the argument concerning side loading the roller lifter. What is harder on the lifter, side loading the lifter bore from pushrod angularity or side loading the roller with the offset cup?

Less p/rod angle equates to more net lift, correct?

The others are from the mock-up I mentioned above. If you look closely at the #3 intake, you can see the masking tape I put on the pushrod is being torn off due to lack of clearance w/ the block boss. The intake pushrods were all really close, even if they didn't rub.


I forgot to mention that part of my block prep includes cutting those lugs off when deburring the block.

What kind of spring pressures are you running? Are those t and d rockers paired or shaft? Do you know the intake rocker offset? I think Brad mentioned .720 previously.

.725 is T&D's MW Victor offset and .800 is their 440-1 offset for the standard replacement kit. No idea if that's different for the paired intake & exhaust config, though.

Re lifter loads with angled pushrods and/or offset pushrod seats... good question.

I'm using INDY shaft rockers. Ole junk stuff that has been good to me.

The springs are K-950s. The T&Ds are the shaft type. Can't recall the offset. No problems with the shaft style rockers, but looking back, I should have went with the paired rockers for the obvious benefits. But the heads were on and i didn't want to remove them for the required machine work.

Good info thanks boys. I will get the heads back and see how it looks.

What are you looking for? I have a used pair of IMM (COMP-style) with centered exhaust and .180"-offset intakes. What I don't remember is whether the intake offset is for #1/#5/#4/#8 or #3/#7/#2/#6, though.

EDIT: While digging around for more pushrod angle stuff, I came across this old thread on the subject: https://board.moparts.org/ubbthread...angles-b1-ts-2-hemi-99-goodwin-hemi.html

Thank you , good stuff. Thanks for probing the subject over on ST also. I will look past that violation of our agreement lol. I have not had time to harass uncle Dino about the heads. He said he would work on em.

Something about a little power outage in CA has been keeping me pretty tied up lol.

Good stuff keep it coming!

Never having had my hands on a set of 440-1s... since a .800" rocker offset is used for centered (zero offset) lifters, would using a .180" or .210" offset lifter allow for using less rocker offset?

EDIT: Checked on the used lifter pair I have and they are for #1/#5/#4/#8

Probably not, the intake port width doesn't change with the lifter offsets, correct whistling grin

It would depend upon where the closest point between the pushrod and the head is. If the clearance issues are closer to the bottom of the outside port wall, then moving out the pushrod seat could increase clearance there while allowing for less rocker offset at the top where there isn't a clearance issue.

Like I said, I'm not familiar enough w/ the 440-1 to know what is/isn't possible in that area. scope

Outstanding. I have the rocker gear here so let me see what the intake offset is.

Seems to be no 'wrong' answer on this but I like straight pushrod angles. I would hazard that a 3/8" prod 'system' would like an offset lifter moreso than a 'good' 7/16 prod. Sorry for delay.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Sean. I am going to grab a head from the machine shop to do some figuring. I spent a few minutes trying to measure the rocker offset but never really figured out a good way to accurately measure.

I am going to get the PR angles straight with offset lifters if needed.

PM me if you need to borrow the .180"-offset lifter pair to mock up stuff.
