Morana 1.7 Roller Rockers
Well I installed my Morana 1.7 rockers a couple weeks ago.All I can say is WOW!!
They really wake my little 3.0 up.Before NA it sounded like it was struggling in the upper RPM's.Now it pulls up to 5500 RPM,s really easy.In NA form they gave me 4/10's and 2 MPH in the 1/4 mile.The motor just feels stronger all around.Not bad for $300.
This is a direct bolt on kit.It took me about 2 hours to do and is IMO the best mod dollar for dollar I've done yet.They take our wimpy 416 lift @ valve and make it 442 lift @ valve.
Anyone with even a little mechanical know how can do this.
I just wanted to share my results.

this is something Ive been wanting to do but I just dont have the money nor time thanks to school... all the other guys have said its fairly easy, just need to be safe when re-tapping the holes
one question did you go through Morana or did you go through Wayne? if you went through Morana how was the service? and also how was the shipping like how was everything shipped and how long did it take?
Im just curious

I noticed a very little difference in idle.It is more responsive though.You can really tell when your passing or merging on to the freeway.
I was gonna get the 1.72 rockers but did'nt want to raise the power band to high.I don't want to give up the little bit of TQ that I have down low.They take it to .448 @ valve.

The nice thing about the Morana kit is there is NO TAPPING.It's a bolt on kit no adjusting either.
Tom Morana is a super nice guy.The shipping was fast.There located in Canada.shipping to Florida was $20.

Yeah ive thought about getting a few parts from him in the past, Ive heard some good and bad stuff about him, like his prices are overated and he has horrible service.... I was just wondering what your experience was with him... Id probably stick with Wayne though all my performance parts have came from him and hes a great guy to deal with.

I trust my tuning skills,but I can do 1/4 mile tuning runs on my friends Mustang Dyno.It's70 miles to the closest track.So it will be a few weeks before I get back.
Then I'll get it back to to the track and let'er rip.I'm hoping for consistent 14's on the nitrous.Not fast but fun.

To be honest.This was my first purchase from them and I give them an A+ on this transaction.

With a 93 perf. tune it went a 16.08@ 84 NA.I did not spray it because I want to get my headers on,up the shot to 70 and get it on a dyno first.
