Where are people buying their pushrods?

OK to clarify my question, don't plan on, or have interest in, switching over to exclusive oiling thru the pushrods in place of thru block to shaft stock oiling. Just looking at the more available inexpensive pushrods that have holes for applications such as 429 Ford that are in the length range of Chry LB.

Anybody have actual run experience of trying the pushrods with holes in a regular oiled hyd cam big block and know that there is, or is not, any significant effect on the system?

First u have to have the lifters that have the capability to oil thru the push rods. Most do not. I think the only ones are the Jeep lifters. So even if u have the oil thru p/r u won’t be oiling thru them. Do u understand where I’m coming from? And to answer ur question. U will loose about 10 lbs at idle. Kim
 
Ok 10 psi down when using thru hole pushrods, good info. Don't have any interest in using the oil thru the pushrods for oiling per se, just looking to try some different length redi-made pushrods for about a third or less of those with no holes marketed as Mopar application.
 
Also gotta be careful using pushrods designed for other engines. Ball end radius or cup radius could be different. They might be listed as ball/ball and be the same length, but have different ends that don’t fit the rocker or lifter properly.
