roller rocke questions

[tayzoid1]

ok i got me a set of scorpion 1.6 roller rockers problem is they are stub mount i have pedistal mount i know crane makes a conversion kit but its a lil on the exspensive side is there any otheroption or do i just need to sell these and buy some pedistal mount roller rockers

[militarymustang88gt]

you could buy a set of trick flow heads or afrs or something of the sort. i mean you could get a used set for a reasonable price than you can have all of the good stuff.

[tayzoid1]

i have like 5 dolla's lol and i am in college i dont have anywhere near the cash it takes for some afr's i have wanted a set for about 3yrs now but never enuff dough

[tayzoid1]

i was just wonderin if i could get the studs and screw them in or do i have to have the big fancy crane cam conversion kit

[EHardy1971]

You can get the screw in studs,but you have to get the mounting bosses on the heads milled down a bit.

[QWKSNKE]

yeah you are probably looking at least $100 to get your heads setup for stud mount rockers

[tayzoid1]

crane cams make a kit that says no milling required srcrew in and bolt on and go

[tayzoid1]

i was just wondering if there is any other way i might be able to make these work ohh well i guess they are goin on sale

[1Quik85GT]

you'd be wise to keep them. what heads do you have? If they are stock, get rid of them and just go with pedestal, until you get a set of heads that are already setup for studs

[QWKSNKE]

he has stock heads

I have a pair of D0OE heads I'd sell. They are a little nicer than E7's and already have 3/8" studs and guideplates. Are your rockers for 3/8 or 7/16 studs? I also have a set of 7/16" studs and guideplates for sale...but they might not work on your heads.

[waypastcrazy]

I agree with stephen save them till u do a head upgrade.

[tayzoid1]

how muchg are you askin for the heads matt and do youthink we could possibly do some swaping and some cash like my heads plus cash cause i just dont think i can afford to straight buy some heads flat out and i belive the rockers sre for 7/16 studs ill go home and look

[coupe]

They're still on an engine but I'll pull them if you want them. I'd throw in the ARP head bolts (you can reuse them)... They already have studs (3/8"), guideplates, and a 1.94/1.60 valve arrangement. They take a different plug than most other 5.0L heads and you must install the roller lifters before bolting the heads down...as the front and back lifters won't go down the lifterbore with these heads in place. They are from the time of shorter-flat tappets.
Theyr'e a decent head. I'd like to see $250, but I could maybe work a little with you. No E7's though; I already have my share of those.

[tayzoid1]

will i be able to use the same headers that are on my e7's i have bbk longtubes

[coupe]

Yes. I had regular 5.0L shorties on them.

[tayzoid1]

ill see if we can talk they should be just bolt on and go right?

[tayzoid1]

stock length pushrods?

[coupe]

Yea. They went right on my 87. I will throw in the pushrods too...they're hardened Comp Cams pieces. :nice:

[tayzoid1]

i might be able to give ya 200 for them cus then i gotta buy loads of gaskets and stuff and not to mention i dont have alot of cash right now anyway
