so i bought an 89 305 iroc motor from someone to find that it came with no rocker arms. it is a basically stock motor, i am not spending 200 on new rocker arms. before i go up to the junkyard, i am wondering if i can pull the rocker arms off of an LT1, 350, etc... the studs are 3/8". any ideas? if i can pull them off a couple different cars it gives me more options than searching down the one camaro in the yard and finding the rocker arms on it are nasty. thanks.

 

I'd be surprised if a full set of new OEM rockers cost more than $50.

 

for some reason i didnt even think of going to adv auto. good call. they should be non self aligning, correct?

 

I don't remember when the change-over year was... should be easy to figure out by looking at the heads though.

 

they are center bolt. didnt the non self aligning ones had the plates over the pushrods

 

No, factory self-aligning heads don't use guideplates, they just have narrower pushrod holes.

 

so for some reason they are $6 a piece.x16=too expensive for stock rocker arms. ideas?

 

GM sells a set of 16 will pivot ***** and nuts. Part #12495490 with a list price of $70.00, scoggin dickey sells them for $56.95 scoggin dickey

Summit Racing has them for $55.95 summitracing

EDIT: also check ebay: ebay

You want self aligning rockers.
