    TIII rocker arms

    I just got off the phone with Jim Dove of Dove Mfg. and he is going to look at what it will take to build rockers for these. They make the rockers for Indy and many others now, so they know what they are doing. The first thing he told me is that it sound like a cammer rocker arm, as in 427SOHC ford, that they build also. Will have to see what the quote is.

    Sweet, thanks. Try to get them to make them with a different lifter, IE something off the 3.5L LH engine or the SOHC Neon engine.

    Well its the same design just a different size that's readily available and much cheaper.

    I agree that if the tappets cost alot less that rockers would be more cost effective, because I know they are not going to be cheap, cause this is not a small block Chevy. It kind of sounds like he digs the odd ball, if they specialize in the 427 SOHC.

    What would it take to get this ball rolling? Any idea on price? Any price break if I buy in bulk?

    Re: TIII rocker arms

    Yeah, but Wallace hasn't updated that thread since early October '11. Not only that, it was a mechanical setup if I'm not mistaken and I would rather use a hydraulic lifter for my setups. Even if it means I have to sell all my new sets of FWDP lifters. I have had three rocker arm failures due to the roller bearing seizing up, wiping out a cam lobe and dispersing metal throughout the engine. I can't afford to have that happen again.

    Nice Eric!

    Looks like the rollers will be replacable? What lifter are they set up for?

    Thanks Kelly! No lifters fully adjustable mechanical rollers. Yes the rollers will be replaceable. Fully rebuildable tip and shaft rollers.

    I'm sure anything is possible. My one off set cost me $2500.00. I'm sure Sheldon will come up with a better price for everyone if he gets some orders
