I have measured for my pushrods and I need 9.730 inches for a 3/8inch diameter rod. %12 stroker with Trickflow 240 heads. It has to have a 5/16 in. cup end on the rocker end with a ball on the lifter end. I cannot find anyone who stocks them in that size. The 9.730 in. overall length, 9.595 effective length. I do not have a lathe to machine them myself . Who will make them custom length?
I could order these and have them machined??

I have used them before and I did use a lathe but the hardest part was pressing them together,
I had to make a tube that was strong enough to keep the push rod from bowing when pressing them together, after that it was a piece of cake.
 
Talk to Don at Oe pushrods. He makes 70% of the aftermarket pushrods for all the big shops your going to get told to go to. Not many places that REALLY make them. They just buy from his shop. Went to his shop. Got the tour. Nice place. Mopar guy. Place is in Mount Clemens Mich. Look it up.
 
If your nice he will throw in a spare push rod too. Never hurts to have a extra one.
 
Trend will make 'em any length/combo you want. I have a brand new set that I can't use. I'll check the length tomorrow.
Just checked an old post of mine....they're 8.970". Obviously, of no use to you either! Lol!
 
FYI only. Manton purchase. Keep rev limiter under 5 k for smoky’s.

I've used Smith Bros. and Manton, but more Smith Bros.

I have used one more set of Manton than Smith, because I needed 11/32" pushrods for a close tolerance Stage 6 application, and Manton had customs available in that size, .135" wall if I remember correctly. Roller cam application.
