Tell me again about adjustable? stud rockers for EQ mag heads?

Stud kit? Chev? other? rockers? Options with the stock rocker mounts?

For the Magnum,I like these bad boys.

I know they're pricey, but those are badass quality.

If I remember correctly, I read someplace, that you could use Chevy stud mounts. But you had to redrill the head for the Chevy stud size which is larger. 3/8ths I think it was.I'm actually not 100% sure about this. I doubt I'll get there.

Crane also makes a kit to convert them. They are 5/16 studs on the bottom and 3/8 on top. Since they are only 5/16 they cannot take a lot of spring pressure, but if you are going with a relatively mild build, they will work fine. Then you use a Chevy rocker arm for a 3/8 stud.

This same kit also works on later Ford small blocks. I have it installed myself on the 5.0 roller motor I built for the RobKat. It's a nice kit. I used the Comp ductile iron rockers on mine.

Here is the kit from Crane.

Used the Crane kit, with a Chevy 1.5 Chevy roller rockers, with a custom length push rod. Seems to work well, with a mild hyd.roller....

RAMM was using stud mounted Chevy rockers on his Cheepy Three Sixty build just recently.

Thanks guys for the replies. Now you say custom PR are you using OEM type cam and rollers? So changing the studs / rockers mandates custom PR length?

I did, because I wanted a centered sweel, on the valve tip...

Yes on stock Magnum lifters, running a Howards la hyd roller.

Sounds like with otherwise OEM stuff I would need different PR. My cam is smaller circle, it is a regrind. LA roller block, EQ heads, OEM rollers with reground cam

Yes. I had to get custom length pushrods for my 5.0 Ford. I was lucky though, because they were an off the shelf length. Pushrods are cheap though, even in custom length.
