Interesting, my stock ones were 6.25" and thats the size i needed and got for the hardened ones. Might wanna double check yours. You should need ball ends on both sides of the pushrod, look at your stock ones, thats what mine were. As far as I could tell the trickflows were easily the best psuhrod for the money.

i like that saving... its funny a$$ ****... my cam isnt that crazy... its 517/520... but i do have 1.7 cobra rr... so i should help with lift

I use comp cams push rods, no problems with 555/565 cam. Never use the stock pushrods with upgraded cam/springs, they will bend. I know this from personal experience! Live and learn, and break some stuff along the way.

I certainly hope that your lift is calculated WITH the 1.7 RR's because if it isnt... your gonna need to do some notching... oh and.. I hope you clayed your motor before you torqued down those heads

In my last post i linked to the ones i got for my car, they are 5/16" diameter. If you're using the pedestal rockers you dont need guideplates.
