Excuse me guys but be careful. Arch tell them what you got with your roller
rocker kit and the exact mondello part numbers. Didn't you get modified
special length push rods and some other goodies?

Tom,

The Crane kit comes with the pushrods, guideplates, studs, etc
needed for the Olds 455 installation if bought as the Olds 455 kit from
Crane (through Jegs, Summit, etc).

For all of you that are interested you can find Crane Cams site at:
www.cranecams.com/CraneCams.htm

A lot of information is there.

Tom,

My fault. It is made by Comp Cams not Crane as I had stated. I must have
glanced at the Crane section of the page when I was writing the email. I
had the Magnum part right though. They are Comp Cams Magnum Rocker
Arms. The kit which includes the guideplates, studs & pushrods is part
number 249-1442-Kit and is $289.99 (used to be $279.99 in my old
catalog). To get only the rockers, you can order 249-1442-16 for $146.99,
but you will still need to get the rest of the stuff from somewhere. Comp
cams has a web site http://www.compcams.com that has these rockers listed
in their mini catalog (not the kit though). You can also download the
current copy of the Jeg's catalog from the downloads section of
http://www.jegs.com . You only need the "Cams & Engine" section
http://webserver.jegs.com/pdfdocs/holidaypdf/060_76.pdf (a little over 2
megs) if you want to get the information for these rockers. The rockers
are on page 71 of the catalog available there now. I see they also now
have a kit for the 350-403 Olds which is part number 249-1441-Kit and is
$277.99.

Sorry if this caused any confusion,
Zak
