Pushrods

[dwg86]

I was doing some research on custom made pushrods. Trend makes one piece, .080 thick, 5/16 custom pushrods from 6 to 10 inches in .025" increments. I emailed them about prices and they replied $5.61 for the 5/16 .080" pushrods. Thats $67.32 for a set of 12. That sounds like a great price for custom pushrods. (I love the little rocker dude)

You didn't happen to ask how long it would take to have them made , did you ?


Comp cams can supply various length pushrods , usually in a reasonable amount of time. I ordered a set last year , .080" wall x 5/16" x 9.600 " , by the time I had them in my hands here in Canada they were about the same price as the Trend pushrods you mentioned.

I just recieved a Comp cams adjustable length "mockup" pushrod , it was $32 , it's gonna come in handy soon. I'm A sucker for tools n' gadgets like that.

Are they hardened?


I may need to get an adjustable push rod tool when I put engine back together.. when ever that may be.. blah. Maybe the machine shop will let me borrow theirs.

Yes they are hardened and can be used with guide plates .

That is a very good price then.. I paid too much for a set of Crower push rods a while ago.
