How much are you willing to spend?
Don’t forget you’ll need to factor in shafts, a hold down/shim kit for the rockers, and custom pushrods. Not to mention the proper tools to take measurements. This alone will double cost of just buying rockers alone.

You didn't say solid-lifter cam, or hi-lift cam,or super HD springs, etc. .......... so what is wrong with using the stock gear?
Hughes A1 prideful prices , They work... Spring pressures open and on the nose...,helps here...

Was it a lumpy cam?
Budget providing, my personal favorite is the comp cams pro magnum shaft mount, Part # 1622-16, 8650 chrome molybdenum steel, shafts included, but do have to add in hold downs and double ball end push rods. When it comes to street usage, aluminum just isn't steel as far as fatigue life and oil temperature are concerned.

I run the same rockers.
If your shafts are in good shape;
Chrysler Small Block
If you need everything;
Hughes Engines
The Comps would be next in line. I have had a set on my Edelbrocks a very long time now.

Research roller rocker geometry before you make a decision on any rocker. You'll be glad you did. Searching the archives on FABO is a good place to start.

I don't understand why everybody can't see the importance of post six? I mean that's what we really need to know correct? to make a good determination?
The j heads are original and the push rods are off set with a left and right rocker u cant run straight rockers because the push rods will rub the head casting with out taking the heads off and doing some modifications on where the push rods go through the head casting hole so a straight roller rocker will not work the cam I put in is a comp cam 20-670-4 474 intake 474 exhaust 280 i/e lift 110 seperation

AAR/TA heads? I would guess that you already have nice expensive factory rocker arms if they are offset heads. Why would you need to upgrade from them? Sell them and buy new heads and have some money leftover to grab a nice dinner.

You talking TA heads?
Someone did a valve job and shaved the heads and that caused a low compression on a few cylinders loosened up the rocker shaft compression came up so that's why I need roller rockers

Shaving the heads wouldn't cause low compression in of itself, unless the pushrods are too long now. Sounds like they are. All things equal, resurfacing the heads will raise compression. Can you cc the heads? How much was machined off? Subtracting that amount from the pushrod length would be a start.

Shim the shafts...

Boy that last post is a hard read...
Milling would raise the compression.
Thicker head gasket would lower it back down, maybe to where it was before milling and possibly thinner old head gasket.
You need to know what head gasket was on it before and either use the same type or mill to compensate.
After that...measure for push rods if yours are too long

No they are j heads not a ta both intake and exhaust are off set with a left and a right rocker non adjustable
Oils thru the shaft push rods are solid
I know that milling will raise the compression but if u don't mill the valves then u will not seat the valves because it is non adjustable rockers u cant adjust rockers get there oil from the block casting not through the push rods
Shims have holes in the middle. Mancini Racing Rocker Shaft Shim Package
That's what im looking for tks toolmanmike
