Does a 360 with hydraulic lifters need offset rockers? Please identify?!?

here are crane ductile iron...crane gold 1.6 roller..and cat aluminum roller ...

crane comes with spring between ...crane roller has spacers...and at the time i just mocked up CAT rockers with crane springs..

Whoa! Now i'm all messed up!

First of all I'd like to say 70AARCuda-Nice! That is VERY cool! I'm glad you have a pic! Do you have a picture with the rockers on the head? I'm just curious how it looks.

And as far as my rockers.. Now I'm back to thinking that they are Crane iron rockers again! That is exactly what they look like! BUT... When I was looking for them new, the pictures I saw did have Crane stamped on them... these do not. I guess these could just be older cranes then? I know this sounds kind of stupid, but I'm fascinated! Easily amused I guess?

If these are Crane, I spent $150.00 on the rockers, shafts, and Crane push rods. That just may be a o.k. deal if that's the case? The Cranes are suppose to go up to a .600 lift, which would mean I'd have room to grow. I'm at .513 now.

hmm... Are the BB shafts the same size diameter as small blocks? I might have some Big Block springs for Crane rockers...maybe...

this is the only pic I have with TA rockers on TA heads...

as i said...the crane ductile came with springs...at least the new ones i bought 25 yrs ago...i replaced the springs with spacers ..and they are currently on my 73 duster...

deals are out there and can be had.....

as far as shaft size i dont know about diameter of BB and SB..

but she oohh and awwh...with my shaft....

and Yes..the TA heads are stamped 360 as the picture shows...

 

[myasylum]

huh? Do you know why it is stamped 360? That is really cool!

its just a casting number....it is not stamped but actually cast into the head...the numbers protrude...it had nothing to do with cubic inchs.

I think you do have a Crane setup

The pushrods are for sure and the rockers look like them.

edit...I confused your pics lol.......you don't have pushrods! lol

I would assemble it and see how the rockers line up with the valves. should be good. Then you can use your adjustment to check pushrod length. This still isn't the right way..but it will tell ya where you are....
