DRR Top Comp
| I changed my mind took it apart, gonna put pistons in it so I can spray it, and a big hydraulic roller. I'm just gonna knock the glaze out of the cylinders with a dingle berry hone, ring and bearing it. It'll be fine street / strip. I just picked up a 4 bolt steel crank short block cheap, cheap, cheap.  |

Yes that was the brand. Thanks Tony! FWIW, they are really nice pieces.

| Guy in Michigan one day priority mailed these here. There's some good people out there still. I didn't expect that at all. These are new! Worked out better than expected.  |

Really?! I've never heard of Crane Gold rocker failing. What would you suggest? I have these Crower stainless rockers too. It's a BBC 454 street car I'm throwing together for neighborhood thrill rides, on Weekends. Comp Cams Big Mutha thumper hydraulic camshaft, 6500 rpm redline.  |

| I am courious as to the Crower rockers. I have used shaft rockers before but only on .800 lift and up and a little more seat pressure than the .730 lift and smaller. All the smaller lift stuff I have used either Crane gold or Harland Sharp. Never had either one come apart but have noticed some roughness after a whole alot of runs of a couple and change them out or replaced the whole set. That being said my current set up has Crane gold and probably have 500-600 runs on them. Making me a little nervous and since they do not make the Crane's any more was going the get Harlan sharp. Now I did see the Crower I think enduros and along comes this post. What is the feed back on the Crower? |

The Crowers were on this dragster when I did the engine & transmission 2014. They wanted shafts on it then, I talked them out of it. 2020 the engine was sent to Nesbittt for a freshen, Nesbittt put shafts on it. They called me and asked if I wanted the Crowers, I talked em out of taking off in 2014. I said hell yeah. I bought the analog 7AL-3 red box ignition system out of the dragster too. We're gonna use both the Crower rockers and ignition system on a no prep 70 Nova I'm doing the Big Duke 540 engine & powerglide transmission for. Nice car. It's a show car.   |
