valve train options

[n8ling]

Here's a beauty! I've got a 360 block .30 over stock .30 over dish pistons, that might change, comp cam xe262 w/ matching springs and lifters. New balancer water oil pump, bearings etc. The heads, well thats the fun part, sent them to the shop and had them taken down .55 to stay alive, and had the intake matched as well. It's gol darn hard to find an adj 273 valve train, so I suppose my only other options are to have custom push rods or shim the rocker towers! Not really what I want to do shimming. Is there another option maybe something after market??

the aftermarket sells adjustable rocker set ups

you can also purchase shorter pushrods

I've looked at some aftermarket sites and I'm having a hard time finding anything.Can you tell me where to look. If I was going to go with the shorter rods, I'm just not sure how to do the math for the length that I would need.
Thanks for the response though, this site has been really helpful in the past

As far as the math, just shorten your push rods by how much you have taken off your heads or block. Adjustable rockers are only a band aid fix, the correct method would be correct length pushrods.
