Rocker shafts, where to buy?
« on: February 17, 2009 - 04:25:45 PM »
My rocker shafts are a little bit worn out on my small block.
I am using custom made full needle roller rocker setup. 1.7ratio +0.700lift and about 650lbs open pressure.  Harland sharp sells PR7002-78 "mopar LA shaft". Will they fit to my w2 heads? They are race heads with 5 different stands. Any other suggestions?
 ???

Well I know Crane & Comp have hard shafts available with the thicker wall for approx $80 pair but I don`t know if they will take the load

The only variation in the SB shafts is some of the W-2's that use the mounting blocks have the mounting holes off-center.

Once we had Ronald Reagan, Bob Hope & Johnny Cash. Now we have Obama, No Hope and No Cash!

You can also try Mancini Racing. They cater to the Mopar folks and carry a pretty good selection of rocker components including shafts. You can check them out on-line at www.manciniracing.com I've bought stuff from them and never had any problems!! :2thumbs:                                               Matt B.

Updates.
I bought 2 sets of shafts. 1 set from mancini racing, their own hard chrome shafts. I run the engine for 5minutes and checked the shafts. Already worn out, i could clearly see that the shafts cannot take the load.
Now i have had 10runs with my new harland sharp shafts and they look like brand new. Very expensive but very good stuff.

Well, this is drag racing engine with needle bearings so i believe that the mancini shafts will survive in normal engine.  :cheers:
