I purchased a set of shaft mounted aftermarket roller rocker arms. They are set up for the cup style pushrod end. My 360 had stamped steel arms on shafts and ball ended pushrods. What small block came with the cup end pushrods? Are they close to the length of the 360 pushrods? Thanks

'70 AAR's & TA's had them for use with hydraulic lifters and most 273's used them with solids. Solid lifter pushrods are longer because the pushrod cups in the lifters sit deeper in the lifters. If you haven't milled the block or heads much one of these will probably work for you depending on whether you have solid or hydraulic lifters. Smith Brothers and others can make excellent quality custom length pushrods on fairly short order if you need to go that route.

Thanks for the info. I just ordered a adjustable pushrod to check what length I will need. If I remember correctly Smith is in Central Oregon and I am only 80 miles away.
