Any of you guys that have ran the Hughes rockers made for the Indy 360 - 1 or 2 heads? What were your experiences with them?
Using with a solid roller.

I'm in the market if any of you guys have a set for these heads available also.
Hughes, T&D, or Harland.

I have a set on my 360-1 heads now. Superior quality and work great. I had a set of the junk crap made by Indy and broke one just driving normal around the block. I looked at all the other jobbers that sell rockers. Called Hughes and asked about them. Spoke with Dave " I believe that's his name " and he went over how they are made and told me if one breaks from any factory defect to send it back. No time line . He said
he 100% stands behind the quality of his parts. So far so good. I have a stroker engine that I spin to 6700 with a mild 6.50 lift roller cam and they stay adjusted pretty good and no problems at all. Just my 2 cents

Did you opt for the Cryo treated version or no?
Do you know your open spring pressure?

My 360-1's came with Indy rockers but I used T&D with the roller cam. The guy I bought the engine from had only ran a flat solid cam and had no issues with the Indy rockers.

I have ran my 360-1 heads and rocker set up for a few years now with no problems but I am always worried about the rockers , my 408 combo is kind of mild, 600 lift mechanical cam and I shift at 6500. Its good to know there is another source for rockers should I have a problem.

The Indy Rockers are extruded Aluminum. I didn't know that until I did a little research. The same company that makes the TD Rockers makes them for Hughes so they say. I didn't get the Cryo treated rockers and I don't know the spring pressure but Larry Smith put the new springs on the heads and said they would handle just about any cam I wanted to put in. I don't know about longevity of the rockers but I do like the way Hughes does business.
