I would recommend measuring before buying the pushrods just to make sure you get the right ones.

I have a crane powermax cam (498 lift), the right push rods, and valve springs all forsale cheap. I bought them because I was going to just do my top end, with stock bottom end, but now im doing a stroker motor, and im using a bigger cam.
