Correct, they use standard offset rockers. Trick Flow recommends the E suffix standard offset Harland Sharps that were designed for the Edelbrock RPM head.

Thanks for that input guys--I was thinking that the 270s would take a rocker similar to the ones used on the Edelbrock Victor heads, which have more offset away from the intake port. I guess the 270s take a rocker with a more standard configuration? Trick Flow designed the 270 heads to accept a standard offset rocker. I highly recommend using T&D rockers if you're building a race engine and you are going to run a solid roller cam. If you are running a hyd roller cam then you can use a less expensive rocker setup. For street use I'd go with the Comp Cams steel rockers.

Again agree with Andy. T&D would be my choice.

FYI, The Trick Flow valley plate is back in stock at Summit. O-ring seal on the removable center cover (for lifter maintenance, etc.). Trick Flow® Valley Plates TFS-61600830 And Summit shows 0.700" max valve lift with the solid roller heads, TFS-6161T784-C01. And if you look at the PAC springs that come with them, you can likely run a tiny bit more. But check actual installed height, coil bind, lash, etc.

Thanks for that info Jim--I did see that I was looking at the specs on heads that they were selling for a hydraulic roller motor. The solid roller heads will probably fit my needs. And I love the removeable valley covers, especially if equipped with clear Lexan. We recently detected a cracked cylinder wall in my current motor after noticing some condensation forming on the Lexan cover.

Those Trick Flow valley pans are very sexy but bear in mind they don't work on an RB, only a B, according to Trick Flow's website. (You didn't say which one you were building.)
