New parts for the 440

[General_01]

I got these for the 440. Now I just have to put them in.

Nice, where did you get them? And how much? They look similar to the ones I have..

[General_01]

I bought them from kmjperformance on Ebay. They were $199 + $16 shipping=$215 total. They are 1.6 ratio roller rockers. They seem to be good quality. Comes with new shafts, spacers and shims, and new bolts and holdowns for the shafts.

They look identical to the ones I bought from 440 source.

Hopefully they work as good.

they look like quality pieces but I guess you'll see after a while. Price wasn't too bad either.

Thanks for the heads up Ron. I have some thinking to do now.

What kind of difference in performance would you typically get with a 1.6 ratio vs 1.5?

[General_01]

Basically it opens up your valves more. It is just a round about way of giving your cam a bigger profile. You just don't have to pull a cam to do it.

[StockMan]

Is it a noticeable increase in power?

[General_01]

We will see. Usually it is. How much depends on the cam you have. I am planning on getting aluminum heads down the road with the bigger valves too.
