4.0 head swap push rod question

Post by gsrsilv »

I looked through the site but couldn't find what I am looking for. Unless I missed it. I am swapping my 4.2 head with a 4.0 and turning adding the fuel injection. It is turning out pretty good so far but it is time to put the push rods in. My question is which push rods do I use. The ones from the 4.2 or 4.0?

Probably best to pick up a cheap length checking tool and make sure you use the right size. If I were to guess likely you would be using the 4.0 pushrods.. but I am not the expert in the 258 department.
If it feels right, then STROKE it!
