Regardless of the cam I use in the short block I'll be ordering adjustable pushrods, and it was kind of a pleasant surprise to find out that I won't have to worry about having to have oddball length custom pushrod made (the .065 difference is well within the adjustable range). So it looks like I'll be able to just order a complete set of pushrods for the hemi heads and an extra 8 intake pushrods to cover the Poly heads.



Just got done adjusting my adjustable push rods on my 330. All I can say they were a PIA. I’m doing a 241 right now. I found a shop that will convert my rocker assembly to adjustable rockers. Once I get them back and installed on the motor we can order push rods from smith brothers. FWIW I have a set of adjustable push rods I’ll sell.
