Building a new 505 With Callies / Mopar Performance Block

The radial looks good. Approx .120. The sweep on the valve stems looks good. The picture did not turn out so good will try again later. I am going to call pushrod manufactures later this week it looks like from testing with my 5/16 checking pushrods that I will have room for 3/8 pushrods. But I want to ask them about wall thickness and 11/32 pushrods just to get their opinion. As of now I believe I would order 11/32 or 3/8 .120 wall pushrods. Pushrod length is 9.620 on the exhaust and 9.660 on the intake. I will have to check with pushrod manufacture as most only come in .025 or .050 lengths if my memory still works.

Your pushrods are over 9 5/8 long. That’s LONG. The minimum pushrod diameter should be 3/8.

Mark my words, every pushrod manufacturer will tell you their 5/16 stuff are more than plenty but they are dead wrong.

You can’t get a pushrod too big or too stiff. Engine Masters tested this. I learned it the hard way in the 1980’s.
