i don't see anything bout pushrods
this is all they say:
Push rods: Using proper length push rods cannot be over emphasized!!!! (over) Good valve train geometry starts when the right length push rod is used for your specific combination of deck height, cam base circle, lifter length, and choice of rocker arms. The fact is, if you are using stock length push rods your valve train geometry is probably wrong. Before ordering push rods, buy an adjustable push rod and determine the proper length for your combination. They are available from many after market suppliers. It's a great addition to an engine builders tool box.

RE: pushrods?
ok thanks... also it says something bout how chevy roller rockers are sometimes better...
Rocker arms: Don't get caught up in classifying rockers as FORD only or CHEVY only applications. After market rocker manufacturers use no standard dimension on axle center to roller tip axle center. Our Fordrocker stud position was established using Crane Gold Ford roller rockers. When using valves longer then +.100" you may find your roller tip to valve tip position better with a Chevy style rocker arm. The reason is most Chevy style rockers have shorter stud axle center to roller tip axle center than typical Ford rockers. Keep an open mind.
i was wandering what others thought about this?
