im in the market for new pushrods and rockers, theres so much out there for pushrods alone its mind boggling.

im runnning a 350 with 081 heads. i know there supposed to run the guided rocker arm but i would like to run a larger pushrod 3/8" with guild plates and a roller 1.6 rocker arm.

im buying everything from summit so if you have time to find a link there for me it would work great.

also do i have to do the screw in studs to run the guide plates?

 

Would you like fries with that?

 

Im pretty sure you need screw in studs for guideplates. That generally means machine work too because usually you machine down the stud bosses the thickness of the guideplate.

113 (Aluminum L98) heads have screw in studs nad guideplates already.... just food for thought...

 

lol, i didnt mean it that way. im suffering from sleep deprivation reseaching. and still have no idea what im looking at. the pushrods to choose from are endless i just dont know what works with what.

ive done alot more reading and i have to get screw in studs to use the guide plates but then there the raised or flat plates to choose from <--again i have no clue which to use. then my block is older non roller so are the pushrods the same length when using self aligning rocker heads? i dont know and i cant seem to find an answer. then theres the rockers, full rollers are in 2 forms from what i can see self align and not self aligned. do i still need the self aligned rockers if i goto the guide plates or do i need to change out the valves.

 

you gotta use some goofy tools and experimenting to figureo ut what pushrod length will work the best for you.
