5/16 Magnum Pushrod Ford 351w 1969-78 8.150 Long

The COMP Cams 5/16 Magnum Pushrod for Ford 351W (8.150" long) is designed specifically for vintage and modified small-block engines produced between 1969 and 1978. This high-performance component is essential for ensuring reliable valve actuation in high-revving applications where standard pushrods may fail. Whether you are restoring a classic muscle car or enhancing a performance street engine, the correct pushrod diameter and length are crucial for optimal engine function.

Manufactured from premium steel, the COMP Cams Magnum pushrod line is built to withstand the rigors of high-performance applications. The 5/16" diameter ensures optimal wall thickness and rigidity, which helps to eliminate flex and wear that can occur with undersized stock pushrods. The 8.150" length is engineered to maintain the correct pushrod angle, minimizing lateral stress on valve stems and rocker pivots, which is vital for preventing premature wear and loss of valve control.

Engine builders and mechanics working on 351W-powered vehicles, including Mustangs, Cougars, and truck conversions, will find the Magnum pushrods indispensable when OEM components fail to meet performance demands. These pushrods are particularly beneficial when upgrading to larger valve lift cams, as they provide the necessary strength for improved actuation. Proper installation requires careful measurement and validation of rocker arm geometry to ensure optimal performance.
