Pushrod - 3/8 .080 8.750 Long

The Trend Performance Products Pushrod 3/8 .080 8.750 Long is a precision chromoly pushrod engineered for high-performance marine and automotive engine builds requiring exact valve train geometry. This 8.75-inch pushrod features a 3/8-inch diameter with 0.080-inch wall thickness, delivering the structural rigidity and lightweight characteristics demanded by serious builders and weekend enthusiasts alike. Ball ends on both sides ensure proper seating at rocker arm and lifter interfaces, critical for reliable valve operation across RPM ranges.

The 0.080-inch wall specification balances strength with minimal mass—thinner walls reduce reciprocating weight and inertial losses, while the chromoly material resists bending and fatigue under sustained valve train loads. The 8.750-inch length is engineered for specific engine block and cylinder head configurations where standard pushrod lengths create binding or excessive clearance issues. Ball-ended design allows freedom of movement between the hardened lifter cup and rocker arm, accommodating minor misalignment without premature wear or valve float at high RPM.

This pushrod is suited for fresh engine builds, machine shop rebuilds, performance engine swaps, and restoration projects where OEM specifications demand precision valve train components. Whether assembling a marine inboard engine or a vintage automotive restoration requiring exact pushrod geometry, this component ensures consistent hydraulic and mechanical lifter function. The 0.19-pound individual unit allows buyers to source exact replacement or upgrade pieces without purchasing full sets, reducing waste and cost on selective component upgrades.

Trend Performance Products is recognized for manufacturing OEM-quality and performance-grade valve train components used by machine shops, engine builders, and restoration specialists across marine, automotive, and industrial applications. Each pushrod is manufactured to exacting tolerances ensuring compatibility with both stock and aftermarket rocker arm designs and lifter assemblies.
