    Favorite Big Block Roller Rockers

    "Aluminum" gets a bad rap. nothing wrong with aluminum rockers if they are quality pieces. 7075 T6 grade would be the premium pieces I have run both needle bearing and bushed with success on other applications, the needle bearing units MUST be on a matching hardened shaft to work and last properly.

    383 rods dilemma

    MY.02: Stock rods with new bolts. if you can get a light weight aftermarket piston and then balance the assembly (this is the money you would have spent on aftermarket rods) you are way ahead. the lighter piston takes a huge amount of load off the rod, Plus Mopar rods were very good pieces.

    413

    I got a "free" Motorhome with a premium package 413 ( industrial top end ) gave it to a friend who was doing vintage stock car stuff. he switched the top dress over to regular automotive and it is a sweet running big block .

    BB TTI 2" header hot start problem

    Master cylinder/booster on 440 Duster
