As a dealer for Jesel, I'd hate the think how much they would cost in
today's dollars.

No kidding, I will say it was well worth the investment after I have seen a friend waste money on Mopars

Ive been running the stock stamped set for 15 years with no issues. I'm going with a solid cam on my next build, so I'll be switching to some adjustables.
Just outta curiosity does anyone know who makes the Mopar rockers?

It's my understanding the Mopar's are out of production and for good reason.

I'd go with the Harlan Sharp's.
Shoot me a call or email. I'll hook you up.

Just for the record, I've been running the 1.6 Yella Terras for about 10 years with no issues. Would trade then for a nice set of 1.7 HS's though :-)

I got the lightened factory ones from HESCO. Not ran the stroker yet, still waiting for the stock motor to show signs of impending doom. 175K and only slight cold piston slap in Nebraska Winter, uses NO oil, not even the rear main.

Wow, Jesel is top of the line. Wonder why the Jesel rocker sold as Mopar got such a bad rap.
Thank you

If Jessel did make the Mopar's I'd be surprised.

They used a very poorly engineered piece that went between the pedestal in the cylinder head and the rocker arm. On one side it was fish mouthed to the rocker arm shaft. And because the piece wasn't heat treated it wouldn't hold it's shape and stay conformed to the shaft.

I believe the Harland Sharps and Yella Tera's are the best choices out there without breaking the bank.

For example I'm currently selling the Harland Sharps in any ratio for $375.00. The adjustables will go for $50.00 more.
