As title indicates, I'm asking what the diameter of stock 1972 push rods should be? I have a '72 360 apart and the push rods measure right close to .278 in. I was thinking they should be .3125 in. (5/16 in.)
Anyone know for sure?
 
I always thought they were 5/16. Never measured though.
 
Factory tolerance lol. Did you measure all of them and in more than one spot? If you're building a performance engine, go with better rods. Besides, that stuff isn't meant to be reused anyways. Most 'rebuild' shops that are doing stock rebuilds reuse them along with the rockers and shafts. If things look good, then that's ok for a stock build....
