I just got a buttload of parts from ScottyJ at RHP and I need some final info.

Block decked .010 with Trick Flow streets and Comp Cams Pro Mag rollers what length pushrods do I need? 8.600?

Any recommendations on Brand?

 

You know...
It might help if I gave a few more specs.

D1 block 460
.041 head gasket thickness
Head face has not been milled.
1.7 ratio Comp Cams Pro Mag rockers


This engine will be used as an occasional driver and for mud drags.

 

not sure about the length but Manton makes a real nice pushrod

 

try this for making your own adjustable pushrod.Simply take an old push rod and cut it about 1 to 1.5 inches from the end. Use a 1/4"-20 tap to cut threads into the open ends, and then screw in a short piece of 1/4-in. threaded rod. Use some nuts to lock the rod in position. Now you've got a adjustable tool that you can use to properly calculate and order the exact length pushrod.or you can buy one for about $20 or so from jegs or ask scotty

 

Yeah.... I read how to do that last night. Ill probably make one to check things out.

I need to place an order with Jegs to get some little stuff for the build and I wanted to get it all one time.

Scotty said 8.600 would probably be the right size but like he and everyone else is saying I need to check on MY ENGINE. So thats what Ill do and place a second order with Jegs.

Thanks for the help guys.

 

Go to http://www.mantonpushrods.com] and download their catalogue. It has a wealth of information on pushrod specs, materials and how to order the proper length. This is the way I went on mine and they did a great job.

 

Sheesh ya noob!!!! Ya think you coulda given a little more info to begin with.....






Just messing with ya there Kris.

 

Thanks Karl. Nothings better than some good ol' newb bashing.

 

What cam are you running? Specs?

Thanks. I'm still undecided on a cam for my build.

 

227/233 @.050 .552/.564 lift on 110 lsa

its a custom grind from Scotty at RHP (reincarnation-automotive.com) Great guy and great products. Id recommend him to anyone and will deffinately buy from him again. Hes that good.

 

This is a nice link to read for instalation for the size of pushrods
and rocker arm.

I think the information is there.

thanks for the link newb.

welcome to FTE!

 

That's right on time, as I'll be needing to get my push rod lengths later this week!

 

just shove some 3/8s rebar cut with a hacksaw in the holes. You'll be fine.

 

I was thinking of that, but figured the re-bar would be too heavy and got too looking at twisting some bailing wire to about a 3/8's diameter just to keep it light and strong.......
