Subject: [Spridgets] Go Fast Rocker arms etc.

Good Morning all!

So I have gotten over the funk that beset me last year and I am going to make the go-fast engine work.

At this point I would like any info or suggestions on rocker setups to use.  The engine builder used the stock early cast rockers and cross drilled adjusters.  I would like something better.  Much better.  And reliable.  

Thanks,

Lester
Supposedly for a 1380 engine
