Thanks everyone, I can;t call long distance during normal working hours, where I work. No excuse for not answering an email, when its business related honestly.

Most of the pushrods you buy are made by Trend. They private brand pushrods for anbody and everybody!! They make custom lengths anytime I need them and they are practically in my backyard.

Sounds like Valve Springs

The pushrods will be in tomorrow, I'll post up pics once they are installed to see how they fit. I also read too much pushrod clearance is not good, .010 max"

No worries, was just giving you crap, and was curious. If I could ever scrounge the money together to buy rods and pistons, I'd be putting my junk together too... Your threads are making me jealous!

Don;t be jealous my motors make no power at all they are just for looks. Last stage 2 made 390 HP at full boost!

Looks like about 150 grams each! Notice the 210 degree radius tip...very nice

Very nice pushrods, will have to keep them in mind. But, I am not sure I trust the weight measurement. You might want to find a scale from this century.


just kidding Norbs!

 

[norbs]

I would put it up against any digital scale............They don;t make them like that any more...

2 pushrods needed the head to be ground down to fit, the rest fit ok. #1, and # 3 cylinder with an offcenter block and centered lifters.
