 I've broken/seen others break too many times even with stock stuff to suit me. Including 455's. You guys have more nerve than me!
 As far as weight roller cams are designed with roller rockers in mind -stockers not so much.

The stability and adjustment are worth the rollers to me?

Maybe with HD shafts.

Where do you get the buttons now?

I run solid rocker shafts with this flat tappet cam. Broke a couple of rockers over the years. I popped a coil and dropped 2 cylinders a year or so ago...was like I threw a boat anchor out it slowed so fast.

Only thing is that I don't need a timing chain. There was little to no play and doesn't have many miles on it.

You don't know that yet. What does the machine shop say.

I may not have needed these but for 250 shipped, I couldn't say no. Got them from some auto salvage yard. Arp hardware, not sure of the rods except they have the two dots, je pistons 20 over.

Have the machine shop check the big ends for size...and have 'em check the rods for straight.

Little update:

Dropped the motor off at Zimmerman racing engines in Phoenix. Says the crank will need to be grinded(?) in three weeks it'll be ready with a 1700 price tag. Forgot my front cover, they will open up the oil passages, blueprint, and rebuild the oil pump. He didn't mention the heads witch I forgot to bring up. Pretty sure I should bring them up and just have him install them.

Just noticed that the heads didn't have arp bolts, let alone studs, which I was told it did from someone. They were the stock tty sps bolts. So either the headgasket had been replaced and the old bolts were reused or they had never been off.

I'm a indecisive fucker. I eventually went with a 212/212 comp flat tappet cam. Lifters, chain, gears, pushrods, valve Springs, valve seals, retainer caps, and retainers.

I need to find a place to buy all the vacuum hoses so I can replace all of them.

Grinding the crank just means that they need to be cleaned up to get a good surface for the bearings to ride on.  You can bet on at least a .010 over sized bearing, possibly a bit bigger depending on how much material has to be removed.

It seems we often get sold things that are imaginary when we look.  All we can do is remember and not make the same mistake twice :)  I have a few of those t shirts.

Should be really nice when you get thru!
