I have a set of the offset aluminum sm rockers for victor/Victor copy heads. I bought them cheap on a black friday sale. I have NOT done anything with them yet.
I'm gonna use the Victor's on a 522, but I'm planning on a fairly conservative cam, so gonna try the sm rockers. If run into any problems, I'll have to bite the bullet and get the $1200 rockers. If I need to do that, I might as well put a big cam in too.

i bought the same set of heads and rockers you did on black friday. I sold them before i tried them...

Today we went 4.60 at 161 at 3300ish pounds on a 8.5 radial. I’ll let you do the math on that one.

In seriousness, I thought it looked like coyote 5.0

It’s not a coyote. It’s a traditional 9.5 deck small block ford. With a killer set of heads on top.

She'll be "as-is" for the first go-around. We'll develop a plan while she's in there, however, I don't want to miss Speedmaster's 40% off sale (if they do it) if they have something that is good for the build.

Deck the block and mill the heads and use some thin head gaskets. Blueprinted Put a cam in it and send it.
