Scorpion Roller Rockers, Are these any good?

I found these on Ebay and I've never heard of them. Are they any good?

How about on a 383 w/150 shot?

The speedshop near my house has them sitting on the shelf. The guy swears by them. I think they were used primarily in marine applications and are trying to make the cross-over. They look pretty hardcore.

I've got a set on my way to me from the guy selling them on EBAY. From what I've seen on the net they seem to be alright. Haven't heard anything negative about them.

As far as I know they do not make them in self aligining. These would be for heads using guideplates. So if you looking for you stock 87 and up engine you probably can't use them.

Maybe a better question would be...Do they fit heads with centerbolt valve covers?

I know that some rr's are not suggested to be used with heads that use centerbolt valve covers due to clearance issues...Cranes Energizer rr's for example.

if it doesn't clear the covers you can trim one side out of the covers and any rockers will fit.(just not shaft style)
