Rocker arm rumor???

moparduster said

A buddy of mine was talking to me and said that he was gonna take his RHS LA-X heads and have the pedestals drilled and have studs installed so that he could run a set of Chevy Roller rockers cause he could get them dirt cheap. Is that possible? And if so is it worth it?

Done it. It works great if you want to use longer valves for high lifts.

To do it right you better know how to set everything up for the proper valve train geometry. You can't just drill and tap holes and screw in studs. The machine work will be expensive unless you can do it yourself.

You'll have to use an oil through the pushrod system and block off the oil coming through the shaft pedestals.

If you are not looking for high lifts, stick with the shaft rocker system, it will be less expensive.
