Ball and cup replacement for a mild 273

[xLURKxDOGx]

I Found a set of adjustable rockers at the junkyard that were off a 273 barracuda and now im looking for a set of ball and cup pushrods. I plan on using this hydraulic cam http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-20-210-2 and i was thinking since stock pushrods are 7 7/16" these would work http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-7821-16 ?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!

Just call Smith Brothers. You really should verify pushrod length before ordering. Also, make sure the shafts are grooved, especially if going on a hydraulic cam.

Cool. Is hydraulic not the best way to go? When i bought the engine it came with hydraulic lifters so i figured i would go the same route.

Adjustable rockers really aren't necessary with a hydraulic cam. The factory hydraulic rockers and pushrods are engineered for the proper preload. There is no performance gains by using the adjustables.
