So I got MCH's CNC version which are about 308ish.... so I went for the middle.....

I'm running 3/8 Smith Bros chrome moly. They have held up great but weren't cheap.

Manton push rods are very nice, and will save you a substantial amount of money over Smith Bros. I always went with there Stage III push rod, 3/8 thick with a wall thickness of .120. Last few sets I ordered took just about one week to get, and was well under $200 shipped. But this has been a few seasons ago. These push rods, will handle about anything you can throw at them.

As for Spark Plugs
I always had excellent experience with they're Auto lite AR series. Depending on compression the AR 3933 plug should be in the ball park. These plugs are usually In stock at the Local Advance Auto Parts too.

A thick wall 3/8 pushrod or even a 7/16 pushrod is what I'd use with that setup. Good pushrods are expensive so you'll want to measure carefully before ordering. You might want to just order two pushrods at first to doublecheck your measurements and then order the rest if the first two are right on.

Maybe I can help you w/p-rods as I have 2-sets one ball to ball and one cup to ball. Is this a low deck or 440 block and what rockers are you running? They are smith brothers 3/8`s bad dogs.
