hi to all. I am rebuilding a 1955 324 for an 88 this engine came to me torn apart and some of the parts lost, the rocker shafts and all small parts, I beleive the rocker ratio is 1.5:1 but I'm not sure. any help would be appreciated! I have new shafts so far but I beleive I still need the pedestals rockers and any other small parts. Thanks!

 

I have various Olds rocker setups I could eventually dig out. IIRC, the early ones like yours are straight and 1.5 ratio; 394s were around 1.7 to 1 and angled some side to side.

 

Thanks for the info. I need to see what my customer wants to do. Probably gonna need book on these engines too. If anyone knows where to find one.
Thanks again!!
