I was wondering if anyone knows if the L98 motors came from the factory with hardened pushrods???

 

No motor, from the factory came with hardened pushrods. The only reason hardened pushrods are needed is if guideplates are run. From the factory, no third gen f-body was assembled with guideplates so therefore hardened pushrods were not used.

 

I will be running guideplates with my new heads so I guess I'll have to get me some new pushrods.

Thanks!
