[jmendlik]

GN-1 14 bolt heads
PAC 1201-X Springs (160 lbs Seat, 460 lbs open)
Compo Cams 885 Hyd lifters
218/224 billet cam
T&D 1.55 Jesel style rockers


what are the best pushrods to use?? do i need .120 wall with the above spring pressures??

Trend offers options:
Optional 3/8″ ball end
or 210-degree
clearance radius ends

smith Bros??

any suggestions??

.116 wall with a tapered ball end, although I ran the 1203's with 1.55 rockers at about .587 lift and the .080 wall comps were holding up. Cant go wrong with smith bros either as that's what I run now.

Manton here. The hi end rods are not cheap, but..

The .110 Wall trend pushrods are what we recommend with those springs we can usually get them in one day if you have a measurment

per Trend web site


TXXX1055 5/16" .105 wall 7” to 9.8" $15.37 210-degree clearance radius ends standard

Sounds a bit expensive for a .105 wall

 

[jmendlik]

that price is from trend web site catalog

I just ordered some from Smith Brothers

8.025 5/16ths 210* ends
.116 wall

They were $169 for 12 plus shipping.
Seems to be on par with Trends pricing.

5116 is the one I ordered, the 210* ends might be different

About what I paid each, for the 11/32 x .120 wall Mantons.

 

[kidglok]

I wonder if a .120 wall can be used in a 5/16 while still maintaining the proper oil hole size thru the pushrod?

 

[earlbrown]

If those numbers are accurate as opposed to rated the orifice will be 72-1/2 thou.

I run the same .116 wall 5/16ths in my motor and I have plenty of oil going through the T and D rockers. The pushrods I ordered from Smith Brothers on Monday came in today. Thats fast. From Oregon to Louisiana in 3 days. I figured it would be Friday at the earliest.
