DeSoto Hemi rockers/shafts qun...

Any of the Hemi guys on the HAMB know if 426 Hemi rockers/shafts will fit a tall deck Desoto Hemi?

What is the OD of the shafts/ID of the rockers on each engine and do the shaft standes interchange?

Do any of the Chrysler HEmi shafts/rockers/stands interchange with a tall deck DeSoto?

Thanx guys...

I don't have any shaft specs handy, but I do know that 426 Hemis have unique shafts. The Chrysler rocker shafts only interchange a**** Chryslers, DeSotos a**** DeSotos, and Dodges a**** Dodges - it doesn't matter if you swap between deck heights.

 

I seem to remember that Chrysler, Dodge and Desoto early Hemis all have 7/8" OD shafts, can anyone confirm?

This would mean that the rockers of all these engines would fit the shafts - however the rocker arm lengths could be different??

There are oil holes in the shafts also, so that would need to line up too. I can measure my shaft when I get home.

 

Each brand is a different lenth.

 

Hey George,

Other than length are they all the same OD? 7/8" ?

AFAIK, yes and it's the same for the poly shafts.

 

the early hemi shares nothing as far as parts inchangeablility with the 426 HEMI

They are all 7/8" shaft diameter.
