will these pushrods fit?
« on: January 20, 2013 - 07:39:17 AM »
Finally I measured my pushrods and they are 0.125" too long. I found this auction:

I guess these are gonna fit my 383 with stealth heads and lunati lifters with stock rockers?

Too many variables to know for sure? If you know that every pushrod is .125" to long then I would say you can measure what you have and get one 1/8" shorter?
I'd get an adjustable pushrod and check for sure.

I already checked w/ pushrod checker and I need 8.450". My question was abiut that specific jesel pushrod - it's shaped a bit different than normal ball-ball pushrod.

I think that an actual, round ball / ball will clear more lift @ the rocker. But you have to determine the durability of the item for your setup. The price seems low enough. One important Mopar thing is the lack of oil hole.

I'm wondering if the ball on the ends are the required radius? :dunno:

I have only lunati 220/226 cm with less than 0.5" of lift so nothing fancy needed here.

If you need 8.450, those Jesel ones will work without any problems.  You must have some shaved heads and a decked block?
