Comp Cams Small Block Roller Rockers...

['64 Cuda]

Does anybody know if the Comp Cams roller rockers for a small block will fit under a stock valve cover? I have a set of Commando 273 valve covers I'd like to use.


I'm also wondering if anybody has an opinion on these rocker shaft hold downs. Overkill with a spring that's rated at 320 lbs. open? I'm planning to use a hydraulic roller cam with a set of Eddy heads.

Thanks guys!

I had a set on a 360 but they were Mopar perf. valve covers and had no problems but the adjuster does stick up quite a bit when the valve is open so I guess the only way to find out is 1. hopefully someone here will post saying yay or nay, or 2. try to measure the height of the adjuster when at full lift and measure the depth of the valve cover and give your self a little extra space for clearance.

As far as the hold downs. I'd say if the roller is very radical (which it probably isn't since you only need 320 lb. springs) get them. If it's a mild roller don't worry about them. My springs are 120 lb. seat and 330 open with stock hold downs and I have 1500 miles on it (many of which were hard miles) and have had no problems. If I'm not mistaken the Comp rockers have stainless hold downs and grade 8 bolts so they are better than stock. If you want absolute peace of mind and have the money, go for it. JMHO

the 273 hipo's had factory adjustable rockers, don't remember how big they were compared to the comp rollers
