Default rocker arms

I was wondering if anyone knew of any rocker arms and springs that would fit our cars other than that of SSM?

The gold ones they have are 1.8 351C Harland Sharps, thats why they arent exactly the proper geometry.

Well I was talking about SSM but it looks like they dont sell the Harland Sharps anymore.

SummitRacing has them, choose the 1.8 351C RR's.

I have heard some people say that they arent any good for over 6200rpms because of the poor geometry.

SSM's Comp Cam RR's are really the best ones that you can buy and if you call Tom he might work a deal out with you on them.

If you plan on using a Cam later do not get the Harland Sharp 1.8's and just go with the 1.73's that Harland sharp offers.

Isn't 1.7 the original, why would you step up to 1.8?

The extra lift acts similarly to a small cam which nets you a little gain in power IIRC.

well the point of the RR's and springs is to do a cam at the same time.

Just trying to find some other options if possible considering SSM has the RRs for almost $500 and the springs and retainers for almost $250. seems a Little high to me..

The 1.8 RR's are for people who dont want to change their cam or springs out.
