Will do.

I'm sure I'm not the only person on the face of the earth who has used these parts.

And, tell me again, where is anyone able to SAVE money working on a boat? Things are a friggin PIT.

And I for one am not one of them If I had money coming out of my ears I would not have a 96 boat. I just know what cost me twice and trying to help others not make some of the same mistakes that myself and others have made. Going cheep in a motor WILL cost you in the long run.

I put Scorpions in my 490. 1.7 and 1.8 ratios. I got them from Clay Smith Cams and if I remember right, I paid less than $300.00 for them. Holding up just fine and they're made in the USA. Pt# for the set is SCP1040.

And I do appreciate the advice, didn't mean to make it sound like I didn't.

"cheap" is a relative term, there are no "corners cut" in my build, but I did NOT get the best of everything either.

Did you have summit rockers fail on you?

PJDiesel

These are the EXACT same as the Summit house brand. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.

Crower or comp cam by far. Whatever you do make sure it's at least a full roller. Full stainless is what I used to run. I never had a problem at all with them. I have had them in a lot of different engines and different types of setups from nitrous to blowers, drag to street cars, etc. I have since switched to Jesel. They are the best, but costly. The sportsman aren't good though so it all or nothing with them. I haven't ever run the cranes, but I got a set with heads I bought. The machine shop told me they aren't good and told me to sell them or throw them away. If I remember it was a problem with the roller and the body.

PJ,
They be made for summitt but they are different look at the pin that holds the roller in , it has little lines on the end of the shaft the summit brand is completely smooth no groves.

I debated this very subject when I was building my 509 last winter. After a lot of research I decided to go with the Summit rockers and have no regrets. They are American Made and have held up well. They are nothing like the Chinese Procomp rockers. Having said that, the Cranes are a proven design if you want to minimize your chances of a failure. However, nothing is guaranteed in a performance environment. I also believe research can only go so far, and after that there's only one way to find out! That's how things become proven.
