    Small block pushrod diameters with Edelbrock heads
    « on: May 15, 2006 - 09:24:14 PM »
    For anyone using Edelbrock heads on their small block (340 in my case), will the geometry accept 3/8" diameter pushrods, without modifications, or are 5/16" the max?

    Only ever used the 5/16".

    Why would you want to go to 3/8" ?

    Just get a better alloy 5/16 if it's a strength issue ?  Plenty strong enough even for Roller spring rates !
