I my quest to squeeze every bit of power out of my mouse I was thinking about installing full roller rockers. I am using stock length CC Magnum pushrods right now and as far as I'm concerned cost a fortune for what they are but I had to upgrade.

With this in mind I would like to continue using these pushrods but will they be OK with full roller such as Crane Energizers ?

They should work just fine as long as they aren't worn too much. If you keep the same spring pressures, you actually going to reduce the stress on the push rods by using the full roller (correct me if i'm wrong).
I am using stock replacement GM push rods with Crane Energizer Full Roller Rockers, however i don't have guide plates so i have no need for hardened push rods. Hope that help somewhat :) :cheers:

Roller lifters are traditionally longer than flat tappet lifters, be it solid, or hydrolic. You will need to install the roller tappets, then measure the length pushrod you will need. You cannot re-use the pushrods you have for a flat tappet cam.

SORRY! I thought you said LIFTERS not ROCKERS!

oops, did not notice a roller cam was going in. In that case, i agree with George. Is the roller cam your looking at going to have more lift/more agressive lift? If so, you may need to upgrade your springs while your at it.
Just something to consider. The open pressure on a roller cam is usually much higher.

That's the same pushrods that I am using with my Comp roller rockers.
