I'm installing a roller-cam in my LA with with 1:6 adjustable rockers and I need a set of 5/16 pushrods 6.50" long with a cup on one end. I really don't want to have to go through the expense of a custom set if I can help it.
Mine last set were about 150ish. iirrJust ordered a set from Smith Bros last week. They know their stuff.
Pricing has gone up due to a tarif on specialty alloys they get from Germany.
Urghh...

A place called OE Pushrods. Talk to Don. He is the manufacturer for most aftermarket shops. Ask nice and he will throw in a couple extra. You will save a lot of money.
This is a pretty mild hydraulic street cam. It's a regrind of a stock LA roller which is a cast shaft so you don't want to go high with spring pressure.If your running a roller cam your obviously going to be running some spring pressure.
Pushrods would be a very bad area to cheap out on.
Should be able to get a set made by Smith brothers very resonably that have some wall thickness.
I measured them.how do you know you need 6.5
have you raised your shafts yet?
Mopars have high deck height and long pushrods
As Mae West may have said "you can't have them too big or too stiff"
And shitty geometry. You can't make a pushrod too stiff.
Very true. Used 3/8 on intakes and 7/16 on exhausts when i had my roller W5 motor
I still have some single taper 3/8-7/16 and double taper 3/8-7/16 pushrods laying around here somewhere. They weren't cheap. But they did work.
Best Machine told me the thicker the better. Zero downside to big pushrods
