I'm building a setup to replace the rocker shaft and rocker arms with stud-mounted roller bearing rocker arms and pushrod guide plates, and the studs for the exhaust rockers need to match the angle of the valve stems to keep the geometry correct. The item that replaces the rocker shaft will be a solid steel bar 3/4" thick by 1 1/2" wide, mounted to the same stud holes in the head as the rocker arm stands. Rockers will be for a big block Chevy with a 1.7:1 ratio. This setup will be used on the engine I'm building with MOPAR roller lifters running on a Corvette/261 camshaft. Jerry
