460 question

Post by OldRedFord »

Would it be wise to go to stud mounted rockers on a iron head?

The cam I am running is 530 lift, and springs are 300# open pressure

I had asked on the 460 website but never really got a answer.

I must not be understanding what you're asking, 'cause 460 rockers are already stud-mounted. :hmm:

D3VE heads have bolt on rockers. Which is what I have.
Now D0VE heads have the studs from the factory.

Stud mount with rollers and guide plates. I'm just guessing, never built one myself.
Great ideas have always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.

I left a good set of C8 heads in Texas because I didn't want to pack them around, paid $50 for them at a swap meet.
