Anybody have any luck getting a hold of him or a set to get specs??

Mark68 10-21-2013 07:51 PM

I have tried several times a few months ago with no luck, so I had already bought some crane rockers from summit,I'll make up my own adjustable length pushrod and see if I can make it work on another junk 3.0 I have before I try them in the truck again. I just went through the engine in my ranger( old one threw a rod, that's how I bought it)and they would not work. That's what I'm going to try next but I don't know when I'll get to it. I will post results good or bad when I actually do it

DeepSouthRanger 10-21-2013 07:58 PM

Thanks!!! Just wiped out my rollers Sat. Morning. :-(
Looking for another set. Like the way these bolt down.. Mine where stud type.

King7765 11-02-2013 05:27 AM

He should at least provide us the machining details so we can tackle it ourselves since he isn't making them anymore.

DeepSouthRanger 11-02-2013 05:48 AM

^^^^ AGREED^^^^

Fordsarebadass4 12-26-2013 08:07 PM

still have any 3.0 sets laying around???

Why run 1.7 when you can run 1.8 roller rockers and get more Hp &ft pounds of torque
1.7 Chinese roller rockers only give you an extra 30 thousand lift compared to the 1.8 roller rocker wich is American built gives you 60 thousand more lift then stock 1.6 rockers

Morana racing did sell the 1.7 roller rockers for a few months until new Intel was gathered they discontinued the product and started to sell the 1.8 roller rockers wich were better quality and performance, and offer an American lifetime warrant.


listed here is a dyno test wich the facts

http://moranav6racing.com/downloads/...0SHEET%202.jpg



The reason for the product change was the history of the 1.7 Chinese roller rockers getting noisy around 15,000-18,000 miles.


if any one still is interested in the 1.7 roller rockers or 1.8 roller rockers and bolt on adjustable. they are available from an Americana company with a life time warranty Tom Morana Racing Engines still has them for sale




A true Patriot would purchase and American product and be proud

King7765 02-02-2014 05:58 AM

Hello Tom,

Good to see you on the forum.

A few members here were concerned about the quality control on your rocker mounts. They said the machining was off quite a bit from part to part.

Is this a problem from the past that we no longer need to be concerned with?

I would imagine so.

fourlitrepro 02-02-2014 01:33 PM

hello

thanks for the warm welcome.

yes there was an issue with the roller rockers in the past , how ever we have discontinued any purchasing from the Chinese company for any roller rockers.

we now supply an American brand roller rocker that has a lifetime Greentree.
wich have no history of being off on measurements.


1.7 are $350 us
1.8 are $400 us

Fordsarebadass4 02-02-2014 05:14 PM

Do the 1.8s fit the 3.0 V6?

fourlitrepro 02-03-2014 03:20 PM

yes they do fit =)

Thats great to hear, I just picked up an uninstalled set from a member here and was wondering if the 1.8's worked with out any other mods.

fourlitrepro 02-05-2014 10:22 AM

I know that the ones i sell will fit without any other modifications , i cant speak for any other supplier,


if you send me a few pictures of your roller rockers il be able to recognize if they will fit with out any issues

How much for a kit
 
Just wondering how much for the kit. Sounds like it's pretty bullet proof. And from all my research it sounds that going with the 1.7 is the best way

01b3000ds 04-20-2015 08:41 PM

I was in touch with Tom a month or so ago for upper and lower intakes. With racing season started now or soon up here, he's likely to be busy. I'm now kicking myself for not having the cash to push the go button on the intakes, timing chain and roller-rockers.

Matt carr 11-19-2015 07:02 PM

Any roller rockets available for 3.0

Matt carr 11-19-2015 07:30 PM

Fo u still have any rockers

So here's what has been done.
I took my truck back apart and went through the whole rocker assembly and found that there were variances in the Morana rocker mounts. So i have done my homework and with the help of a local engine builder/machinist i have put together and tested a bolt on 1.7 Roller Rocker kit for the Ranger 3.0L.
The 1.7 rocker arms raise your lift at valve from .416" to .442" and let the 3.0 make better torque down low and more power up high in the rev range.

These kits require no tapping of threads and are a simple bolt on.

What I want to know is there a interest out there for these kits.
I would sell direct for $280 or i will be listing on my E-bay store for $310 and i am not just talking i have several kits ready to go now.

Like i have said before i ran a kit very similar to this for about 100,000 miles with no problems.
I just think my quality control would be a lot better and my prices lower. I paid about $400 to get my kit to me from Canada

Just wanted to see what you 3.0 guys think?

Here's a few pics of one of my roller rocker arm assembly's next to a factory rocker arm.

Rockers
 
Really late but do you still have the rockers for sale?

CJutterback 03-25-2018 09:30 PM

04 3.0L 5spd cold air, no muff, fuel cat,rear sway,4 roto
 
is this still going on?
i would also be interested in a set but i swear proform makes the same thing for 180 whats so different about yours? i do get the guarantee it will fit my truck 1000% i get that.

NightBiker07 10-21-2018 09:56 AM

I believe the rocker arms themselves are Proform rockers for a Ford 302.

the difference is, the guy selling these was making custom pedestals to mount these in the stock 3.0 heads. Not sure if he still does these or not. I got lucky several years ago, I had a broken pedestal and he happened to have one laying around. The head had a burr I didnt see and caused the issue.

they were definitely worth the upgrade.

Bob442 01-28-2019 01:39 AM

I'm kind of disappointed no one has posted the machining of the pedastol specs, it would be very easy to run off a few set if someone was willing to pop a valve cover for me...

hashish420 03-08-2019 10:30 PM

There is still some. Of these on eBay for 249... Is this you? Bout to buy a set but would like to make sure they are the ones you fabbed up to fit the stock heads

pulgarinluis9 11-30-2019 01:23 PM

Are these still available? I’ve been looking but can’t seem to find any

Long gone. The rockers were just proform rockers for a ford 302. The pedestals were the custom bit.

I got lucky 10 years ago and the guy had a couple extra laying around to replace a broken one I had. And at that time, he hadn't been making them for a while
