Before you buy anything, why not call Mike at B3 racing engines? He may have rockers. He can definitely help you pick a rocker and get the geometry correct.

The Indy rocker isn't all that bad of a rocker. I'd rather have that than a HS rocker.
 
From what I was told by guys that have used them was that the Indy rockers weren't a problem until the spring pressure got up into the large roller territory.

I'm pretty sure the Indy rockers only differ from the no longer made Cranes in color. I have run unbushed aluminum rockers with 340 on the seat and 900 over the nose. I've run Chrysler ductile iron rockers (bushed) at 315 and 800ish over the nose. If the rocker fails, it's usually something else.

I have a complete set of fresh from T&D 1.6 to 1 rockers and shafts sitting on my bench, if you are interested.

Before you bolt these heads on from a fellow moparian to another, have them checked for REAL flow numbers and valve job. Also make sure the intake lines up. Go to Harbor Freight pick up a bore scope for 60.00 bucks. Also chase the oil lines make sure they go all the way thru and are the correct size. I chased these demons for years and six different intakes from indy till it was right. Now that they have been massaged to work they are ok.

I missed the W9 part. No, these are for Big Block Mopar with traditional off-sets and cast stands. Thanks.
 
According to Indy's website the 360-1 heads use the .800" offset big block intake rocker arms. It would seem to follow that they would use the big block exhaust rockers? One would have to call Indy, which I don't intend to do.

Yes avoid the nightmare at indy. The offset for a 360-1 are 0.800"in and 0.080" ex.

that's what I would do

I made yesterday an 18 hours drive ( back and forth ) from my house to
Middleton Nova Scotia to pick them up
-the heads are new and cnc ported fully assemble
gonna dissamble them and verefy every thing spring pressure valve ....
-the intake is an edelbrock Victor new in the box (not big enough I think )
-rockers are used and I dont think Im gonna run them few scrach and marks so...
I do alote of street driving with the car so doesnt wanna brake one and need to be tow back home,never did hope never do


an other question for you guys what do you for intake gasket??? does port are big !!!

thanks bob
 
Indy and Cometic have them. My Indy gaskets were to thick and I didn't want to mill my heads or intake so I had Cometic make the thickness I needed.

Harland Sharp roller rockers are 10 times better than Indy rockers. You can install HS rockers and forget about them, just check lash every couple months like you're suppose to. With Indy rockers you have to pull your valve covers frequently so you can watch for cracks in the rocker arms before they break.

Then you have something else wrong.

There is no such thing as a bolt on rocker. Ever.

I don't have anything wrong, I've bolted-on many sets of Harland Sharp rockers with zero issues. Over the years it was amazing how many guys I talked to at the track that were having problems with Indy rockers cracking, you can find a lot of different threads about it too. Rocker geometry is important and there's some nice kits out there such as B3-racing but as long as the rocker has a decent sweep pattern I've never had a problem.

i have have mine for 1 years and got them from a friend that used them for 10+ years. i had them on my supercharged motor with 230lbs on the exhaust seat and 280lbs on lthe intake seat. one of the best investment you'll ever make is a set of sharps.
