Which pushrods for a 351W roller cam?

Miguel · 06-13-2002, 07:34 AM

I have a new 351 W Sportsman block with a Comp Cams XE282HR hydraulic roller cam and TFS Twisted Wedge heads with adjustable pro magnum rockers. I'm using 5.0 style roller lifters and spyder retainer hold down. What length pushrods has anybody been using? I heard anywhere from 7.7-8.2 in length. Any help will be greatly appreciated

You should be using 8.050 length pushrods in your hydrolic roller 351W. I have a set of Trick flow twisted wedge heads and that info was in the Installation notes in the manual for them.

"289/302 engines with any recommended rocker arm

Camshaft Type Pushrod Length
Hydraulic roller 6.750 in.
Hydraulic flat tappet 7.300 in.

351W Engine with any recommended rocker arm

Camshaft Type Pushrod Length
Hydraulic roller 8.050 in.
Hydraulic flat tappet 8.600 in. "
