Looking for an adjustable pushrod-1966 440

[steamboy05]

Hey, I'm trying to track down an adjustable pushrod for a 1966 440. Recently rebuilt the motor, and had the block decked. The big problem is finding one with a 1/4" diameter, to fit the old style tapered pushrods and lifters. Anyone got any advice?

You might check with Mancini. I think they supply push rods.

Unless im missing something here..... no amount of decking the block or shaving the heads is enough to need custom length pushrods for a street motor. Are the originals missing??? If you have a spare one of those, it would be easy enough to weld up your own with some standard hardware (fine bolt and long nut with an additional locknut???)

Maybe Summit Racing? We had gotten one years ago.

I cut an old pushrod in half and removed a section then double nutted a piece of threaded rod so i could adjust it up and down. Then ordered custom smith brothers pushrods.

I agree with Lefty71. You shouldn't need to change pushrod length because you had the block decked. Did you also add a high lift cam?
