Re: looking for some pushrods
Comp Cams High Energy pushrods are great rods in terms of strength for your money, definitely a major increase in in strength from OEM. The part number for your application is Comp Cams 7816-12.
Unless you are is running a radical hydraulic cam the High-Tech series is really over kill and a waste of money for your scenario.

Re: looking for some pushrods
I coulda sworn (years ago) that Crane made some; did you check with them? If it wasn't Crane, it was someone that sold roller rockers- it was available as a set (the rockers with pushrods) or each one was separate (rocker kit then a pushrod kit).

Re: looking for some pushrods
it says its not computer camapable but its is. also get the cam from delta. www.deltacams.com call them up you will save a lot. and its the exact same grind. but i did the cam and left the motor in the car and just rebuilt it and its only got a little over 50,000 on my car and its MPFI.
