Pushrod - 3/8 .135 w/ .210 Radius 8.280 Long

The Pushrod - 3/8 .135 w/ .210 Radius 8.280 Long from Trend Performance Products is a precision-engineered component designed for high-performance engine builds and restoration work. This pushrod is essential for mechanics and engineers who understand the critical role pushrods play in valve train geometry. It serves as the mechanical link between rocker arms and lifters, making it vital for reliable valve actuation.

This pushrod features a 3/8-inch diameter with a .135-inch wall thickness, engineered to deliver optimal strength-to-weight ratios while maintaining the rigidity required for consistent valve timing across the entire RPM band. The .210-inch radius on the ends ensures proper ball-and-socket geometry at both the lifter and rocker arm interfaces, reducing binding and wear under dynamic load. At 8.280 inches in length, this unit is sized to match precise pushrod tunnel clearances and valve train geometry specifications.

Engine builders and technicians who are replacing factory pushrods or upgrading performance engines will find this component indispensable. The combination of diameter, wall thickness, and radius dimensions work together to prevent deflection under valve train load while minimizing reciprocating mass. These critical factors directly impact valve timing accuracy and engine efficiency, making this pushrod an excellent choice for small-block performance applications.
