OK guys, from the replies on my B1 Rocker post I'm now sufficiantly nervous to consider spending MORE money.

It's like a lot of you have said, last years BOOM cost me over 10K and if it happens again the little woman (check writer ) will go on strike.

So my question here is pretty simple. What's the advantage of the individual shaft T&Ds over the single shaft? I already know it's much easier to work on but is there anything else?

They are both good rocker systems, but your block comes drilled for pushrod oiling and paired is the best value for the money.

Also, what all is involved to do the paired shaft deal. I know I'd need pushrod oiling so that means new lifters and pushrods. I just bought new roller lifters without the holes about 3 weeks ago and we've been dorkin' with them so they can't go back.

I have a set of Crower oiling lifters that are brand new, and I can't use them on my Predator motor, so I'll sell them. Or Comp Cams has some and they are around $450 and work well too. As long as you don't need offset lifters. Hopefully your pushrods are ball and ball and have holes, I have lot of those too. They are all smith Bros.

Is there machine work needed on the heads? Will my B1 valve covers work? (I think that's already been answered on here a few days ago)

With Jesel yes (extensive) with T&D no, but call them to be sure.
Any other surprises?

You will need sheetmetal valve covers and Jeff Johnson at Billet Fab, is who I used. They are very nice. If you go the common shaft type you can use your valve covers, but the paired are the best way with pushrod oiling.
