Rockerarms?

[skunkworx]

OK is the preferred style of rocker arm the Ford pedestal mount or the Chevy adjustable? And what would be the advantage of ether one?

i like stud mounts

I'm looking to get a set of AFR 165 or 185 and you have a choice of which style you can get. So I need to know which ones are the better choice. When I figure out what I need I'll know what to look for.

studs are stronger and easier to ajust IMO

Also, it's not a Ford or Chevy thing. It's just stud mount or pedestal mount.

Cool thinks. And since everybody is getting picky lets not forget the rail mounted rockerarms.

Thinks for all the info. I just wonted to know which was better before I got a set. Now that I know I got a set of Crane Cam energizers for $50 bucks. Thinks for the help again.

Energizers are Pedestal arn't they??

Either way unless your making 500+ hp, pedestal will be fine but, they are correct..Stud mount is definitley stronger.

HP has nothing at all to due with pedestal rockers being weak...its the HD valve springs

and i think 5/16 pedestal bolts are only good to about 350# springs

I have heavy duty .600 lift springs with Cobra 1.7's - no issue here. I contacted crane before hand to make sure I wouldn't run into a problem with a broken rocker. The tech at Crane told me unless I am running over 500HP I shouldn't have an issue.

Hopefully I am going to be alright..
