Did 95 LT1 have hardened pushrods?
Or was 94 the last year? I did a search but found nothing conclusive.

If you are upgrading to better valve springs, rockers and guideplates you should upgrade the PR's as well, so it doesnt matter too much.

93 - 95 had hardened pushrods, see attached reference. They're also fine to use with guide plates. I've been running NSA RR's for 50K miles with no signs of wear on my stock 95 push rods.

its easy to find out, take the edge of a file to it, if it scratches it its not hardened.
