Rockers!?!?

[ToplessMarrine]

So would these be stud mount or pdestal mount. They are TFS 1.7s! I dont know, and it helps me to learn by seeing it. If you can see the difference in these pics. And it is an auction on ebay, and I would like to buy, but dont know if its right for my application. The tfs are for sale, and the Cranes I had on my factory ported heads on my first car, are the different type mounts and if so how do you tell?


TRICK FLOW 1.70 RATIO FORD ROCKERS 3/8 STUD WITH LOCKS. LIKE NEW. MAYBE 500 MILES ON THEM. PAYPAL ONLY. CHECK MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR NICE FORD PARTS - TRICK FLOW HEADS - STACK INJECTION SYSTEM AND MORE

They would be considerde Stud Mount. The Locks are for adjusting the valves and then locking the rockers in that specific position.

How much is he asking?

[ToplessMarrine]

Im bidding on both, the TFS are for 81.00 and the Cranes are for 50.00 so far, I had 1.6 cranes just like these on factory ported and polished heads on my old car. So good deals are out there.

What kind of heads are you putting them on? Do you allready have Studs, if not you will need them also!

[Sphinxmunkey]

I was looking at some a few months back and they went for over 115-130 by the end of the deal, about 4 sets... so I said screw it and kept the 1.6 stockers...

Good luck with the auctions :)

If your looking for a set of 1.6 pedestal mount rockers, give Art a PM, he has a set for sale.

My 1.72 Scorpion pedestal mount rockers came in today. But they were more then $200.00 though (new).

[redtang93]

what kind is on stock heads stud or pedestal?

[ToplessMarrine]

So can you change pedestal mount to stud mount or would it even be worth it, if it is possible. I know now what the difference is but now I'm wondering which is better and can they be converted. Oh and the Scorpions are effin awesome, but I can't afford em!! I raced those cranes for two years shiftin at 6000 so I know they'll be good for my application. But maybe in the future I can upgrade to the Scorpions.

pedestal mount are on stock heads. and I had Crane Energizer Pedestals on my ported factories.

Crane sells a conversion kit, to change from pedestal to 7/16 stud mount rockers.

Are the Trick Flows still for sale? I bought some trick flow 1.7's 2 days ago on ebay and I was wondering if you were looking at the ones I bought. Got them for 140.00 1.7 ratio roller rockers

[ToplessMarrine]

Thanks so much. Already checked out the link and looking for the part and different prices.

[ToplessMarrine]

Here it is if anyone else needs it. Notch left the link for Crane above.

Convert your engine the easy way.
These rocker arm guideplate conversion kits from Crane allow you to convert engines with pedestal-mount rocker arms into adjustable-type valvetrains, without machine work or cylinder head removal. Each of these kits includes guideplates, guideplate inserts, studs, a stud installation nut, and instructions. These kits are intended for mild performance applications using hydraulic lifter or hydraulic roller cams. They're not recommended for competition use.

[ToplessMarrine]

yeah they are still for sale. I just found them tonight and they have like 3 days left.

[Notch93]

Honestly, I would just run the pedestal mount rockers. I was thinking of using the conversion kit on the Eldelbrock heads. But bought the set of Scorpion pedestal mount instead.:yes1:

[ToplessMarrine]

Well I was sort of thinkin the same thing, but the only thing that bothered me was both Summit and Crane both say that Stud mounted offers adjustablility, and that creates less friction, which makes more horsepower. But then again, its probably minute amounts of power they're talkin about.

[Notch93]

At the level your talking about, it doesn't really matter. Put the money that you would spend on the conversion kit, into porting the heads.:yes1:

[ToplessMarrine]

Definitly already in tha works, good advice. Kinda what I was thinkin too
