Replacement rocker arms

[69XP383]

I need to replace the rocker arms on my 383. The are stock stamped steel arms and I found a replacement set of 16 for about $85. I was looking at roller rockers. I found a set on ebay for $129. Are the worth the exta cash and are they a direct replacement? How do you adjust them?

Check 'em out here.

From what I remember, some people had some issues with clearance using roller rockers and the Mopar Perf alluminum valve covers.  I don't know what your engine build will be, but if anyone can help with engine parts and operation, try to hook up with Firefighter (Ron).  I am sure he will shoot an answer to this post as he is one of the Mods here as well.

Brian, stick with the MP heavy duty rocker arms....they're bulletproof. 

Personally, i'm not a fan of budget rocker arms....if you go that route stick with a chosen name brand like Comp, Crane etc...

Using an adjustable rocker arm means you need to change the pushrods as well.....you will need a pushrod with a ball/cup design.

Thanks guys,

Just a few seconds after typing you I called the supplier and realized I needed to purchase/order cup-style pushrods. Looks like I'm back to the replacement stock stamped steel rockers until I decide to build the engine.
