Smith Bros. Been very happy with their prices, quality, and service on the last 4 motors, BB & SB.

Thanks for the help to those who responded. I contacted Smith Bros first as the majority of those who responded mentioned them. Spoke with Pierre, very helplful and knowledgeable. New pushrods will be shipped today awesome!
So here's the rest of the story: 440 Source heads on my 440. Upgraded the cam to a .528 MP solid and bought the correct 3/8 pushrods for the cam (Crane or Mopar are 3/8") New 3/8 pushrods hit the intake runners. So I decided to first see if someone could make a 5/16 pushrod that would work and balance the cost against the labor and cost of pulling the heads and doing the necessary clearencing.
Thanks to the Moparts crowd for the recommedations.
