Default 389 build help

Building a 389 going to put a tripower on it. I have bbc rockers for it and plan to port and polish the heads and enlarge the valves. Question is i have 066 camshaft and a 524886 camshaft. Would you run either of these? If which one and what size and length of valve should i use?

BBC rockers are too long for Pontiacs. You need Pontiac rockers. If longer than stock valves are used, SB Ford rockers might work; they are slightly shorter than Pontiac rockers.

Yes. The rocker tip/pad will not be centered on the valve tip. If rocker manufacturers could a rocker that fits a few brands of engines, they would...
