Ratio?
1.5 or 1.6 is what the sign said.

I wonder if they are needle bearing or bushed.
I wish a set that looked that good was available with an offset, for $900.

I like the pushrods too. I wonder if they come in various lengths.?
That they are bushed is a bonus.
Edit: I forgot to add when rockers are bushed like that I almost always get full time oil to the rockers. The bushings last longer.
And I do not groove the cam or similar. I block the oil with the cam bearing so it can’t get through the cam and out to the passage in the block.
I clock the cam bearing so it block the holes ( just the number 4 cam bearing on a BBM) and then pick the oil up off the oil pressure gauge port internally in the block.
Doing that means no oil from the crank is going to the rockers.
On the big blocks one main is feeding both heads. That’s stupid but that’s how they did it.
Obviously this stuff wasn’t engineered for what we do with it so as a builder you need to figure out how to stop the carnage that happens when the heads pull too much oil from the main bearing.
I think I have some pictures of my SB. I’ll post them if I kept them.
Edit II: pictures

Those look nice. If they are under $1000 or right around it, they should sell. My 505 is running the RAU bushed and stainless rockers - and they are nice. I think I paid around $1200 - $1300 for them a couple years ago.
The way they're made, they kinda look offset. Maybe they're just tryin to be fancy.

I am guessing you are just seeing the factory big block Mopar offset they have built into it. The heads are supposed to use a conventional rocker arm.
Maybe so.

Yeah, I was looking for a QUALITY set for a Victor or Victor clone (SM) under $1000.
There really is NO reason for TF to make such.
Yeah, since they don't offer anything with the valves offset from stock, why would they? Then need to , I think.
All big block rockers are offset.
I know that, dummy, but those make it appear like there's more to it the way they're made. Did you walk the aisle in grammar school?
I slept through grammar school. That’s why I’m so brilliant today. I got my rest.
