Pushrods for cam install...
 
'94 Z28 with 113k.

I got the cc306 with patriot springs, put it in. Realized I needed Rockers. Got Comp Cams Magnum 1417-16 1.52 ratio ones. (Comp Cams tech recommended them). Then reading the paperwork for the rockers it says stock pushrods are a liability. Ok great.

Now I need to know of these will work with said rockers and the 306:

If there is a cheaper/better alternative on SUMMIT (Imperative due to quick shipping and I need my car done by next week) let me know. Thanks guys.

1994 z28s have hardnd pushrods stock 1996 and 1997 did not so u will be fine..

You don't need hardened pushrods... you don't have/need guideplates.

The Comp Cams Magnum 1417-16 are self-aligning rockers.

Stock was 5/16"... I use 3/8" pushrods for increased stiffness... either will work for you.

Smith Brothers make some great pushrods.

Should have went with full roller 1.6 rockers, not the Magnum 1.52s.

Kind of off topic, but true. A little extra lift would have been nice I guess.

I use 1.6 Pro Mag NSA 7/16 RR's with my cam, but its a much different engine. Nothing wrong with 1.52's though...

I bought the Trick Flow chromemoly ones suggested earlier in the thread (Before all of these responses). I figure since the engine is already all dismantled putting them in isn't the worst way to spend ~$100..
