I'm digging the Harland Sharp shaft rockers. I have a set of T&D for the TW heads and they are 2 piece. HS looks like a much better design.

What sort of HP goals are you looking for?

im hoping to hit 700rwhp but not sure if my blower will do it for me. i think i have all the supporting parts matched to do it

Very nice!!

This is going to sound really weird, but what kind of coil are you running? I've been looking for a blue one and can't find one to save my life.

Where did the p/s bracket and timing pointer come from?

Wiring does look nice and functional.

ps bracket is nothing but a cheap ebay one. they look nice and seem rigid although ive heard that the recessed bolt holes eventually break thru. the plate is 1/2" thick but where the bolts go thru because its recessed its only like 1/8" thick maby 3/16".

timing pointer is just a ford motorsports aluminum

i am an electrician by trade so making the wiring visual and pretty was a must!!!!

Very nice setup, what rpm do you plan on turning it to? I am building a very similar setup right now that will be N/A, but can you give a vague duration spec on the cam so I can get an idea of how big you went with your build. Also weren't you planning on using Jesel J2K rockers based on your sig, why the change to the Harland Sharps, just curious because I plan on using Jesel on my build.

i dont have my cam card in front of me now i will get back to you on specs. its a street car so probably wont see much over 6500. cam is setup for 6800.

funny story on the jesel setup. i bought them off my buddy a year ago when he decided to run nmra real street. since then they allowed for shaft rockers and asked if i would sell them back to him and being the nice guy i am i did. so i then went to a 1.7 comp stud rocker with girdle and there were fittment issues so i got mad and bought a set of HS shafts(just couldnt swing a new set of jesels which were my 1st choice). so thats where i sit. the HS shafts are way over kill for the street but give me room to grow.

Nice build thread, that motor should scream.

You speak of fittment issues regarding the Comp stuff. Can you elaborate?
