not sure, but I have the max wedge port. would that be the super victor? I hope so, because that's how the rockers were ordered. they are suppose to be a bit shorter than the standard victor. The M.W. size ports are the Super Victors I look for 1/2 thread to three full threads max under the rocker arms on my Harland Sharps

Not running much spring pressure with the solid flat tappet. Didnt think it would hurt to use a heavy wall 5/16 pushrod and skip all the clearancing issues. Been there done that. Heres where the rockers set on the stem. Yup a heavy wall 5/16 will work, but don't forget you can get 11/32 diameter as well. I wanted 3/8 but no way could I get it so I went 11/32 heavy wall and I think it is .125 wall.

didn't know that 11/32 was available. glad to have another option. cab, will the adjusters still pass oil to the fulcrum at 3 threads? how many turns/threads shut the oil off. need to know the limit.

While the OAL of the valves is equal the margin on the exhaust has a little more area between the margin and the face. You should see this when checking valve spring installed height as well. I'm 99% sure that is why you are seeing a variation from intake to exhaust.
It's the geometry effect of the offset intake rockers. Picture a triangle that starts at the lifter: the vertical line represents the pushrod length for the no-offset exhaust rocker; the horizontal line at the top of the triangle represents the intake rocker offset; the angled line from the lifter to the other end of the horizontal line is the longer pushrod for the offset intake rocker. Exhaust valve lengths for inline valve engines are usually longer than intakes because of the thicker valve margins. The effective seat-to-tip lengths are virtually the same.

called steward for pushrods. $10ea for 5/16 .120 wall. says they will work fine with flat tappet@.650" lift. no 11/32 available. Manton wants $16ea. from what I see on the price list. Smith Brothers does 11/32. I'm of the mind you can never get a stiff enough pushrod.

Once you determine the pushrod length.
Go on ebay and type that length in .025" increments. Your search should be nascar pushrod 9.125". You may be surprised how cheap you can find a double taper trick of the century pushrod made by companies like manton, trend and some of the same sold under another name such as cv products.
Its a long shot when they are this long. But, I have bought double taper high radius 9/16" pushrods for $30 for set of 8.
Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

I just got off the phone with Manton. They recommend 3/8 pushrod, but said I could get away with 11/32 .120 wall with the 400# open pressures. $12.35ea. Think i'll get the Mantons. I agree. Most pushrod aren't stiff enough. I went with the same deal as you are considering. I damn near bought 11/32-5/16 single taper pushrods but I'm getting ready to do W-2 heads so I said screw it. That engine will get 3/8-7/16 double taper pushrods even tough it will be SFT.

Manton told me the 11/32 .120 pushrods are 40-50% stronger than a 5/16 .120 I'd believe them.
