i figured out that i need 8." / .080 rods at 5/16th's width, but im looking for suggestions on the best rods for the job.

i know they are a little long for an lt1, but that is what they measured out at......lt4 heads with .100 longer valves. it is a solid roller motor that im expecting to turn up to around 72-7500 rpm's, and i also have jesel shaft mount rockers, and push-rod guides to be on the safe side.

what do you suggest?

any opinions on these?

 

I assume you will be using pretty stout srpings? I'd call Manton, but I think you need thick wall pushrods for added rigidity. Something in the .095 or more range.

yeah, i think the seat pressure is around 210-215lbs.

...so i should use a thicker wall...?

 

Manton "Series 4" are $160.00/set and are better material with a little thicker wall (0.083"). If you are on a very tight budget, the Comps will be ok.
