Pushrod advice
The last thing I need to get for my build is pushrods. I know I want to go to 3/8 size but dont know what brand is best, and/or why.
The Comp Magnum look ok to me and seem reasonable but I would like some advice before I order them.
Any advice or experience out there?
Thanks.

There made from SAE 4130 Chromoly and case hardened to Rc 60.
7.4" in 3/8 diameter are only $105 a set.

Trend makes the pushrods for Comp. Trend, Smith Brothers, and Manton you can't go wrong with all 3. I tend to favor Smith Brothers. They tend to have a lot of stuff in stock, even some odd ball sizes. If you can fit a 3/8 by all means run it. What kind of open springs pressure are you running?

I'm running smith bros but they we damn pricey. Local shop quoted me $100 then when they showed up it was now $180 or something ridiculous.

True. But when you are quoted one thing, then the price changes when it shows up, that is an issue. This vendor did that twice to me so I don't do business there anymore. Now I've spent $10k+ at the other local shop and he lost out because of $80 on these and $50 on another part.

You think thats bad, try > three bills for my 3/8" thick-wall Chrysler style pushrods from Smith Bros. The Jesel rockers have ***** on them so the top of the pushrod needs to be a cup. They're nice though.
