Leghome Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Talked to our best local engine guru this week and he looked in his records and my application will most likely need 7.300 pushrods but he also highly recommended doing a little testing with an adjustable push rod. My son in-law Jamey will be here tomorrow and I should know what I need very soon. He is bringing an adjustable rod 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Jamey came up today and we have gotten the pushrods figured out that they need to be 7.266" long which means the Comp Cams 7609-16 are going to work. I did take our adjustable pushrod into my local guru and he measured and he got a 7.275 on his caliper and recommended I go with the above. So a trip to Jegs or Summit is probably in the works for tomrrow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Jegs did not have the pushrods in stock Summit did but decided against a four hour drive for $100 worth of parts so they are being shipped 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Just got my headers back from the ceramic coater and Me thinks they look fantastic the intake should be ready by Friday and will look similar to the headers 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 It is coming together slowly but surely. All of the holes for the temp gauges and headers are a different size so many trips to the hardware store is slowing me as i get frustrated and then discouraged so keep taking breaks lol. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leghome Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Ole Red is up and running. I am so tired of working on him that I hope I never have wrench on him again. Still some tweaking to do but we are close to being road worthy again. I’ve tried to up load the video I made but it keeps giving me a 200 error code so I am guessing it is to big of a file 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hope you will be able to make it. rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
