What is the application? If you are talking NHRA and the car didn't come with a roller rocker then you cannot use one. For example, and LT1 has stamped and you have to stay with stamped. IHRA allows roller replacements, I believe.

You need to be more specific.

That helps a lot, but unfortunately I cannot help you on a Ford application. I am sure someone may chime in soon.

Dude I hope the means your kidding. HAHAHA. I wouldnt put scorpions on my lawn tractor. Ive seen them break in half. But im sure they would work on a bone stock motor with little valve spring pressure. Crane golds are the way to go if you want an aluminum body rocker...i have never had any trouble with them from my stocker to my mid 9 second street car. They take a beating and will handle loads of valve spring pressure and rpm. Comp Cams or Crower make a good steel body roller rocker as well. As for an NHRA approved rocker id have to say Crane Nitro "look alike" rockers are pretty tough. My buddy runs them on his DIRT car and when hes done with them he gives them to me and they show little to no wear after a tonne of laps around the oval.

My 2 cents

I've been using Harland Sharp on my IHRA stockers and my bracket cars for over 20 years. Harland Sharp just celebrated 50 years in business. I've NEVER had a problem and the family that owns and runs Harland Sharp are "car" people.
I am building another small block Chevy for one of my bracket cars that I also plan on running 200 mph at Bonneville and they build an AWESOME shaft rocker system for just about any head made.
At the 2010 PRI SHOW and the 2010 IMIS-Indy show they had a BUNCH of new rocker products, all made in OHIO. USA!!!!
I think they make the BEST available.
