What rockers would you recomend for Victor heads...............................?

[hemiken]

Hi Guys,


Have been thinking about Victor heads lately and wondered what people would recommend for rocker gear that suit the Victors please. And what is the true offset for the intake rockers aswell.

...........Forget the victor, go with the indy.............kim............

depends what hes trying to build i guess.. the victors will outflow the ez's but need special gear for sure.. including headers.... but ea I would lean towards the indys...

HUGHES - Rocker Kit, 1.6 Ratio Victor Heads
Includes Rocker Arms, Spacers And Banana Grooved Shafts These 1.6 ratio rocker arms are designed exclusively to give you correct geometry with the Edelbrock BB Victor cylinder heads. The exhaust are standard offset and the intakes have a .600" offset. Any less offset and the pushrod is too close to the wall. Any more offset and the pushrod angle beomes an issue. This kit includes all 16 rockers, all of the billet machined spacers, the fine adjustment shims and our banana grooved shafts.

Hi Stroker,

I have seen the Hughes rockers but was not sure of their quality.  They do look cheap looking in the pictures on their web page.    have you personally seen these rockers up close buddy.

Bang for buck i think i could make the Victors really honk for a very strong semi street car.

I jumped over to the comp stainless for some longevity, I like to cruise lots on the street.

not up close but you can get them cryo treated.... as far as the rocker pecking order goes these day according to the moparts experts

Jesel $1000+
Harland Sharps $750+
Hughes .... best bang for the buck I would say.... Im leaning towards gettin them next....

Thanks heaps for the heads up

The Stainless will not work on Victors, only on the RPM heads  Personally I would pass on the Victor heads , if not have fun !!!

OK CP,

How about this set up................. 383 stroked out to 496 with Stage 6 heads and STR 14 crossram.  What solid cam and carbs would you recommend for a real tuff streeter, i mean real tuff.   These are things i have and would like to use.  I have a 600 double pumper and could get a match for it and then get them flowed and modified.

4 spd or auto ?

4 spd or auto ?

stage 6 heads... special gear again.... and CP will probably tell you an stick car is too tough with the STR-14 intake......

[Changin Gears]

Flow numbers I'd seen on the STR wern't that good.

4 spd or auto ?

It will be Auto with convertor to suit 

stage 6 heads... special gear again.... and CP will probably tell you an stick car is too tough with the STR-14 intake......

I already have a pair of Stage 6.......... I bought them as unfinished without any Valve seats or guides installed so i can shift the valve location around and down size the stem size to Chev size or would Hemi stem be a better option.  As i will have to buy the apropriate guides to suit valves when time comes.

Flow numbers I'd seen on the STR wern't that good.

I seen the flow numbers for an STR aswell but it was for the duel inline STR, i have the proper crossram STR and the carbs are mounted directly above the ports on mine.   Have not seen any flow related topics with the STR 14 like i have, would be very interested to know how they rate.
