Magnum rockers on a LA head?

[74swingerlover]

I heard somewhere that magnum rockers are 1.6? True? Can you use them on a LA head?

Magnum rockers are stud mounted while La rockers are shaft mount, dont think that can easily be interchanged.

But yes magnum rockers are 1.6 ratio but there are many different la rockers available in different ratios.

The magnum is a tower/stud mounted rocker, and the LA is a shaft mount system.
I think I remember someone say it could be done, but a lot of work and cost.
Also something about needing different pushrods due to top end oiling.

Stick with the LA Shaft mounted system. It is WAY superior than any stud mounted rocker.

 

[RustyRatRod]

Just buy 1.6 rockers for the LA.

I figured it was too good to be true/worth it

Roller rockers for a SB Chevy will work on a Magnum. .060 over locomp 440 pistons will work in a .040 over 400. Old SB Ford rockers will work on a SB Chevy. I left work early today. Aaaannd you can put a BB mopar intake on backwards.
