Rocker shaft assembly?
Is the factory rocker shaft assembly ok for my rebuild? I'm not planning on running a large cam, so can I get by with the stockers or do I need to invest in the aftermarket units? Sorry for the double post!

as long as the clearences check out it should be good to go. I assume no big cam means no 6-7k trials ? Take them apart and clean them up like new, shaft end plugs and all and check tolerances for shaft/rocker....look for wear patterns etc... Also (if going with the original) do the dizzy as a lot of crud is hiding in there...you dont want it dumping goo in your fresh build.

Well if you care to upgrade cheaply..I have as set of Harland Sharp HD Rocker shafts that have been used...But the do Mic out to OEM specs..so there ready to go.. They have a slight haze to the Hardened shafts..But..again nothting to worry about...
The walls are .250" thick...and I have some Doug AKA " Pump Builder " End stands to got with them..... Carl Knows about some of my left over parts..as well does G..FFR428..
I think pics can be seen in my gallery? I dont remember if I pulled them when I went on to the other build? I'll take $175 + shipping for them... They list for about twice that..+ shipping....all you will need are the center stands for the set That Doug has for about $60? I think thats what I read the last time on his site..
If not..they'll go to ebay in a week or so...

Russ, those HS rocker assemblies sure do look sharp.
Someone give 'em a good home the price is half of what they're worth.
Ther're not on my afford it list otherwise I would of snagged 'em months ago.
Go EPay with a reserve, never know or that other Ford forum.

I'm German, have kids and a wife there for I drink.
I wonder if they award negative squares, hell I bet I could
collect a few. Been know to **** off a few members but
don't feel alone the wife's included.
One of my projects needing more power, hey Russ ya got gray hair
The scooter is my POS, needs more power like a Yamaha 400 motor.
The turbine bike if more speed is needed at my friends welding and fab stainless shop.
The 70 is something I dragged home, will part out.
