I have been looking at different roller tip rocker arms. I see so many of them are for racing. I'm looking for some that are for a daily driver and towing. Does anyone make something for the FE motors.

Thank you for your help.

 

a set of roller rockers are primarily for benefits in high rpm use with using heavy springs to minimise valve float. a set of rocker shaft end stands would be a benefit if you are using anything other than stock springs, it will minimise the chance of breaking a shaft. for street use I would avoid using aluminum rocker since they could fail on you more easily than steel ones.

 

If your running a stock or small torque cam just use the stockers.
Roller rockers help reduce friction against the valve tip and some have needle bearing on the shafts to farther reduce friction but most cheaper ones run on the aluminum or have bronze bushings.
Aluminum has came a long way and I wouldn't be afraid to run a set for every day but good roller rockers for a FE are pricey, if your looking for some steel roller tip rockers like is available for small block Chevys no one makes them for a FE engine.

 

T&D make a set of street ones as well as the race ones, I have them. Come complete with the stands with end supports and are adjustable. Not cheap - $800 or so.

I'm running them in a 445 with BBM aluminum heads and a fairly large hydraulic roller cam and I like to touch 6,000.

 

Thank you for the input. I geuss I'll stick with the stock setup.with pulling a heavy trail, was hoping to find something to add a little less stress to the valves.

 

I would like to have those, wouldn't mind pushing that beast past 5,000 if I did.....
