Has anybody drilled a magnum block for LA heads? Or successfully push rod oiled LA heads with a reasonably priced rocker?. If so what rocker arm? This is a 318 roller block that will be used with aluminum heads. Pro Comp or Eddy, 4" stroke. Street use only.

I've seen a couple threads on other boards where someone plumbed from the oil pressure port into the LA head through the back of the head. Requires a hole into the head and a hollowed out rocker shaft hold down bolt.

I think the PRW Stainless steel shaft rockers will oil through the pushrods and are probably your cheapest option.

I don’t see any reason why the Comp ultra-pro magnum rockers couldn’t be run as pushrod oiling.

My machine shop made a jig and drilled my magnum block for LA heads.
Works great. Been racing the engine for years.
