Are those rockers pushrod oil capable?
I don't think so. Shaft oil only.

I thought I saw someone state otherwise... it would be nice though....I don't think so. Shaft oil only.
The rocker stands have been moved on the trick flow heads for better geometry. I believe Mike at b3 was involved in this, they now require minimal correction but stock rockers do not work, I mocked up a set of 273 adjustables and it was ugly. If wanting a good rocker on a budget the good news is mancini roller rockers made by harland sharp had really nice geometry and they will sell them as singles very reasonably in 1.5 or 1.6.Why the iron rockers will not work.

I like the simplicity of the mancini rocker, more like a crane gold, imo harland sharp made the mancini rockers better than their own .That's good because the HS rockers fit like crap on an Ede head... Bad if you want to run a rocker closer to stock spec.
I think the OP should run an iron J head
Why not a build similar to the RHS X head engine in the Blue 73 Duster? Looking for more than that one? Maybe a bit more compression and camshaft with a set of TF's. Either that or a well ported set of edes/copies.
As far as getting the engine in a good combo/chassis, the OP knows what he's doing!
Thanks Rob X4406 , I actually have a ad out looking for RhS heads but..I wonder how much difference the EQ heads are, this time i will have cal trac monos etc, when i did the other engine a super victor was recommended but i had a std victor. I would like to get another 40hp and have the rest of the car work this time.That's good because the HS rockers fit like crap on an Ede head... Bad if you want to run a rocker closer to stock spec.

I appreciate every ones suggestions i had a set of rhs heads done by a local guy that does lots of stock super stock stuff about 10 years ago on really basic 410 and it ran well, i know there are a lot better cylinder heads offered today and i figure that would be the best way to go.Thanks Rob X4406 , I actually have a ad out looking for RhS heads but..I wonder how much difference the EQ heads are, this time i will have cal trac monos etc, when i did the other engine a super victor was recommended but i had a std victor.

Let’s talk reality for most here and take those loaded heads such as Trick Flows or ProMaxx Shockers, and start adding costs for the average guy that doesn’t do machining, honing, have all the tools to check clearances and runout etc and is not the pro builder that wouldn’t dare do anything other than the full rectal on an otherwise ready to go ootb set of higher end heads? The best he can do are the basics like disassemble the heads and drop the valves in for good bounce and ring, wiggle them in the guides and give them a good visual, clean them good and reassemble. Widely accepted way of checking. Not ideal, acceptable. Or maybe the guy does nothing at all but just looks them over and install. So now they are filled with doubt about not spending all this extra money on ootb heads. What’s the cost specifically of this child’s play machine shop stuff???
Totally agree, I got a set and have no intention of buying into the concept that they need anything further than making sure they’re clean. I’m just asking what the costs of all this so easily rattled off extra work is that some think is mandatory. I’m sure there are others that may wonder what the costs are, regardless of which brand of head.the trick flows can literally be run out of the box safely without checking them. Period
With the exception of valve locks, so can most of the other aftermarket headsthe trick flows can literally be run out of the box safely without checking them. Period
Ditto for the Pro Maxx headsthe trick flows can literally be run out of the box safely without checking them. Period

Will they be optimum, maybe or maybe not. The same goes for any aftermarket piece.
But then again, 40 years ago I was spinning home ported rag tag big block 915's 7000 rpm on a regular basis with a fossil of camshaft 557 solid in a 383. LOL
Yes... Running them on my magnum block with trickflowsAre those rockers pushrod oil capable?
Thanks! I knew somebody here was doing it, or at least 90-something percent sure...Yes... Running them on my magnum block with trickflows

there are holes in the rocker that feed through and oil the shafts.So you are feeding the shafts through the pushrods? Or are you just oiling the adjusters?
spun a bearing in mine... Oops.. waiting for the crank to show up. So i'm changing some things to put the compression down to 11.75 and got some 1 7/8's headers.Thanks! I knew somebody here was doing it, or at least 90-something percent sure...
How’s the hot rod(s) running?
The Mrs. tearin up the track still?
