Help - Correct Pushrods?

Vandal_89 · 04-28-2002, 04:23 PM

I need your Help - I recently bought a new set of FMS M-6565-L302 stock length pushrods hoping to use them in a 5.0L project I am working on. This weekend, I finally got the chance to work on the motor with hope of putting the valve train together.

I am using Un-milled World Casting Products Windsor Jr.Cylinder heads, an unmodified deck height E7TE block, Ford B-303 Cam Shaft, FMS M-6500-R302 Hydraulic Roller Tappet Lifters, and PRO-Form Roller Rocker Arms.

When I got to the point of installing the first pushrod, It was obvious that the pushrods are too short for the setup I am using. Hopefully someone out there has a similar set up and can recommend a correct pushrod (and/or length).

Thanks for the help!

I had a similar thing happen to me, it's the roller rockers. Each company uses a little different setup as to where the ball cup is placed. On my 331 I use a 6.4" pushrod with a Scorpion roller rocker. The only way is to use an adjustable pushrod to get the correct length. But it should be around that size. Stock is like 6.27" or something. Hope that helps a little.
