Looking for steel roller rockers for a set of Indybrock heads. Any options other than aluminum? The Indys have the offset rockers. My thoughts are for street / some strip the steel would be a better option.

Yes, they need offset. I didn't see any advertised at PRW or TD.Do they need a offset? Try prwonlinestore.com they have steel and aluminum, maddart used their roller rockers on his 408 build. Was thinking about them for my motor build
Thanks, I'll do thatYou'll have to call T&D, they don't seem to advertise them.
T&D does offer the offset rocker kit for the Indybrocks as I got mine from them too.Thanks, I'll do that
Were they steel? And if you don't mind a ball park idea of what the cost was.T&D does offer the offset rocker kit for the Indybrocks as I got mine from them too.
They are aluminum, unsure if they offer them in steel but if you talked to Steve or Sheldon I wouldn't be surprised if they would make whatever you wanted. The kit I bought was the better part of 1200 dollars.Were they steel? And if you don't mind a ball park idea of what the cost was.
Thanks for the info
Yes I am aware of that and had Indy's rocker arm set up and pushrods on the car and had a very premature failure of the rocket arm and pushrod, I am only guessing but thinking maybe the adjuster might have been of too soft a material and pounded down which in turn beat the cup of the pushrod off. By the way the engine was built and dyno'd by Indy and had around 60 miles on it. Is a solid roller set up and in my opinion those parts they chose to use just weren't up to snuff. That's why I'm upgrading to better components. Thanks
I had the exact same situation happen to me and for now I am running the Hughes rockers and shafts and have in wait a set of T&D rockers that IMM will install when they redo this pile of incompetent **** that I got from Indy.I have Indybrock heads on my Dart, They use B/RB big block rockers. The Indy rockers that came with the heads did not hold up to the higher spring rates of the roller cam. I broke 4 of them in a short time just driving around on the streets at normal speeds. I bought a set of Hughes big block aluminum roller rockers and have had no problems in 6 years.
Thanks for that info. These are what I'm looking for. Had no idea the big block stuff would work.
Thanks
PRW Steel Shaft Rocker Arm System
Check out Pace Performance. They're quite a bit cheaper.
I've had good luck with the PRW stainless 1.6s on my mild 340. I had to have one single rocker sent to me when I initially bought them because the bronze bushing was messed up when I took them out of their package. Setting them up is also a bit of a pain. Other than that, they've performed great. Just like anything else, you have to look them over really good before you put them to work. Check to make sure the rollers are flush of the valve stem also.
