I have a 400M motor that has had .045 off heads/block and want to avoid roller rockers. Anyone know where spacers are available to correct geometry using standard length pushrods? Know I saw them somwhere and perhaps they were produced for 5.0, rather than 400,,,? Anyone know where these can be obtained? thanks, Mike H

Ford Motorsport makes them. I'm sure Crane and other rocker co's do too. The rockers on your motor are the same as a 5.0 RAY------------------

> The rockers on your motor are the same as a 5.0 The 400 uses the same rockers as a 351C which are 1.73:1 ratio
and are not the same as the 5.0L 1.6:1 ratio rockers. Dan Jones
