The Speedmaster Pontiac 326 400 455 Roller Rocker Arms Set (Model 1-261-016) is a complete engine valvetrain component designed for 1960s and 1970s Pontiac big-block engines. Featuring a 1.65 ratio and 7/16" bore diameter, these aluminum roller rocker arms reduce friction and wear on pushrods and valve stems during high-RPM operation, improving reliability and engine response in street and mild performance applications.
Constructed from aluminum with DNA® technology, this rocker arm set delivers superior corrosion resistance and lightweight performance compared to cast-iron alternatives. The roller design minimizes contact friction, allowing for sustained engine operation without premature wear. Compatible with Pontiac 326, 400, and 455 displacement engines, this set is ideal for restoration projects, engine rebuilds, and street performance upgrades where original or period-correct components are desired.
