Paint the heads Frank, They'll never know the difference and I won't tell.

Gary, I expect those rocker arms would give the game away!

What, do they make you remove your valve covers?

Speaking of rocker covers.
John;
Did you have to make any valve cover modifications to run those 1.7:1 rockers without hitting the valve covers.
I have 1.6:1 rockers and had to use the heavy rubber gaskets to clear the rockers adjusters with Edelbrock valve covers.
I guess with the 1.7:1 rockers the adjusters will be further inward so likely have more clearance.

Frank Frank!! you have to keep a straight faceat all times.

Considering that no respectable speed equipment house would EVER have made roller rockers for a lowly Y-Block they must be factory! Right? Sounds like a plan to me, what scrub or lopar fanatic would know any different? And if the inspector is a Y's guy he'll probably want to know where he can get a set. Chuck

Frank, these rockers are actually factory items. My uncle worked at factory and was in charge of destroying the experiments when they were through with them.They made 50 sets (so of course they are legal) of these but instead of destroying them he took them home. That's your story and I think you should stick to it.

You see Frank, we're with you all the way in using these factory rockers.

So if Frank buys a set of these rockers, and if I decide to again race my blown '57 Bird at the same race, then I'll have to have a set too. That way, when the inspector sees one set, he can check the other car to verify they are indeed two of the fifty sets that John's uncle "acquired". That inspector is a Pontiac guy, and the first time he teched my car he said, "I don't know what I'm looking at. I assume it's correct".

And he has no idea how "correct" you car is John. Chuck
