Pushrod Wall Thickness
Evening everyone. Just wanted to check in and see what pushrod wall thickness would be best for the 467 stroker we are building. Obviously, thicker is better for a pushrod, but just wanted to get some opinions as to if something like a 5/16" .116" wall are really needed for this engine, or if the 5/16" .083" would be fine? The heads are 6X4, with Crower 68404 springs that will be set up at 1.550"-1.560" I.H. area, so we can get up around 125-130 lbs on the seat, as we are using the Voodoo 704 camshaft in this engine. Open pressure should be around 300 or a little over. Rockers will be factory 1.5 stamped steel, with ARP 7/16" studs and Polylocks. The pushrods will be purchased from Smith Brothers. Application is 100% street car.
Thanks!
