Pushrod - 5/16 .080 6.500 Long

The Trend Performance Products Pushrod – 5/16 .080 6.500 Long is a precision-engineered chromoly pushrod designed for high-performance engine builds where exact valve actuation and durability under sustained rpm are critical. Built to specification with ball ends, this 6.500-inch length fastener delivers reliable operation in small-block and mid-displacement engines where oem pushrod geometry must be matched precisely to avoid valve float or improper valve timing at peak power levels.

The 5/16-inch diameter with 0.080-inch wall thickness represents a balanced specification: sufficient wall strength to resist buckling under high-lift cam loads and valve spring pressure, while the 6.500-inch length accommodates block and head configurations where longer pushrods are required to maintain proper geometry and valve clearance. Chromoly construction provides superior tensile strength compared to standard steel, critical for engines running aggressive cam profiles or elevated engine speeds. The ball-end design ensures proper seat engagement in both the lifter and rocker arm, reducing friction and wear at these critical contact points.

This pushrod is specified for performance rebuilds, race engine assembly, and original equipment replacement where oem-equivalent geometry is mandatory. Engine builders working on small-block Chevrolet, Ford, Mopar, or similar platforms requiring this specific length and diameter will find this component essential for maintaining valve train integrity. Verification of application fitment against your exact engine block, head, and cam specifications is recommended before installation to ensure correct valve lash and clearance.

Trend Performance Products has established itself as a reliable source for precision engine components across the performance and restoration market. Each pushrod is manufactured to tight tolerance to ensure repeatable fit and function across multiple units in a complete valve train assembly.
