Paul,

I bought a set of aluminum Ford 1.6 rockers off eBay for around a $100 and
will make my own shafts and mounting standoffs.

I looked at the two types Jerry sells and felt they were over kill and over
priced for our application.

As a guesstimate I reckoned that this engine wouldn't see more than 3500 rpm
with the 3.21 Final Drive and Switch pitch transmission.

Also $745 for the cheaper ones Jerry sells was too rich for my budget.

Regards,
Rob M.
