I am building a mild 360 for my 66 belvedere,
My issues.
1991 hydraulic roller la 360 with shaft rockers ( pre magnum )
I have a set of crane gold rockers, and am installing a mild lunati hyd roller cam with oem lifters.
I have found way to much conflicting info on pushrods, I am unable to find any remotely close in the ball cup design?
Any help would be appreciated !
 
Smith Brothers or Manton will make them any length/configuration you need
 
I highly recommend Manton as they made a great set for my hot rod slant 6.

I appreciate the help. Now to figure the length.

Check You Tube, there's lots of postings on there to get you going. Also, depending where you buy your push rods, go to their site and you'll find what you need to know to place your order.

Save some hassle, buy two pushrod checkers, find out what Crane recommends for adjuster thread depth and read up on "valve train geometry". Also, familiarize yourself with pushrod "overall" length and " effective" lenght. Like malex said, contact the manufacturer. I have only used Manton but I talked to them directly. They were extremely helpful and I learned a lot.
 
Manton has a good informative website, a pushrod checking tool is highly recommended. If you call there, ask for "Al" in sales. He's very smart & Helpful.
 
If you have the means, it's pretty easy to make a push rod checker.....

A lighter valve spring is advisable too. A guy can be quite creative if you are stuck for a spring.
 
Smith Bros. makes great pushrods and you can get 24 hour service if you want to pay the price. Trend is also a great supplier of pushrods. They make them for several can mfg.'s
