Push Rods...new ones or not
 

I will be putting some 1.6 roller rockers on my stang soon. Do I need to change the pushrods when doing this. I have one of the 302 crate motors from ford and pedestal style heads.

1969 fast back; yellow; weld wheels; 302 roller with GT-40 heads; 3:55 gears; 5spd T-5; MSD 6AL; E-303; flows; Hedman headers;

Just for safety why not put some hardened push rods? I just recieved my new one's yesterday. I bent one a while ago and decided to go with hardened one's this time.

David,
I would check and see if they were not the hardened one's that came with your engine. With stock springs you probably would not need them but I purchased a brand new set for $25 from Flatlander racing, cheap insurance.
