RE: forgot one thing...

I bought some of the Shelby rocker arms. I didn't know any others existed. Okay, I figured there might be others out there, but I didn't know anyone to ask about quality. That was before I knew this forum existed!

The arms look great. They came with shafts, stands, etc. BUT, they were shipped with bolts that were too short. I didn't notice they were short, and I put them on my brand-new-still-smelled-like-styrofoam Edelbrock heads. Pop! went the heli-coil. I got pissed, but all I had to do was run to the store and buy longer grade-8 bolts plus a new heli-coil. 30 minutes later I was rockin'.

Other than that, the arms/shafts/etc. look like they'd live on a NASCAR engine. I don't work in a machine shop or anything, but I've seen my share of engines.

All things considered, I would pay $200 or so extra for the Shelby name/reputation, but if it's $500 more, I'd buy from any other big name.

This thread, so far...
