    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.

    Master cylinder/booster on 440 Duster

    If you do your math correctly with master cyl displacement and pedal ratio , manual brakes will stop it fine. There are several on line calculators to help. 180 MPH road coarse cars do not use power assist.

    Running white hot

    Get a real temp reading.. And I'll be that guy , please be careful, we had an upper rad hose blow off an overheated car my dad and I worked on ( without a proper temp gauge) and it cooked him from the waist up like a lobster.

    Ive had good luck with Cronatron NI rod for cast repair, it doesn't weld great out of position but that's not an issue in this case. or braze it , easy peasy either way , not the end of the world.
