Rebuilding 186 heads. Need source for parts.
I have a set of bare 186 heads that I need to get built. I am going with Manley valves but was wondering if there were any recommendations for springs and rocker arms. These are for the 302.

Re: Rebuilding 186 heads. Need source for parts.
We used the stock pressure 302 springs from Manley. I also used the roller TIP rockers from Crane. They fit under the valve covers. Just do a little cleaning in the ports and runners, shim your spring heights and use steel clips and retainers. Will go to 7000 rpm's all day. Sam
