Pushrod recommendations
Hi all!
Been a while since I have posted. Looking for the best pushrod for my application. 327 small block chevy super stock motor. Unsure of cam specs, but should pull to 8800 in the 1/4. Length has been determined to need to be 7.700 inches in length. Any advice is appreciated! Jeff SS/MA 64 Chevelle Wagon |

I suggest a 3/8" diameter 0.125" wall minimum, if you can get a 0.165" wall, even better. Weight on that side does not matter, pushrod stiffness helps control valvetrain harmonics. I have been using and selling Trend for years, however, I'm struggling with them since they were bought by the new owner. I'm really very sad about this, as they have the best product, and previously had reasonable pricing and excellent service.

Re: Pushrod recommendations
Thanks Alan! I really appreciate it!
I thought .080 wall thickness might be sufficient, but I only want to buy them once. Jeff |
