Pushrod - 7/16 .165 w/ .210 Radius 8.000 Long

The Pushrod - 7/16 .165 w/ .210 Radius 8.000 Long by Trend Performance Products is a precision-engineered valve train component designed for high-performance small-block and big-block engine builds. This OEM-style pushrod serves as the critical mechanical link between the camshaft lifter and rocker arm, translating cam lobe motion into valve actuation. Whether you're rebuilding a classic muscle car engine, upgrading a street performance application, or restoring a vintage drag racer, this pushrod delivers the consistency and durability that serious engine builders demand.

Manufactured by Trend Performance Products, a trusted name in valve train technology, this pushrod features a 7/16-inch diameter with a .165-inch wall thickness and a .210-inch radius at both ends. The 8-inch length is optimized for applications requiring precise valve timing geometry and minimal deflection under high RPM loads. The .210-inch radius design ensures proper engagement with both lifter and rocker arm, reducing wear and maintaining tight tolerances that prevent valve float and optimize combustion efficiency. Trend Performance's manufacturing standards guarantee straightness and dimensional accuracy critical for consistent engine performance across multiple heat cycles.

This pushrod is ideal for mechanics and engine builders working on Chevrolet small-blocks, big-blocks, and comparable platforms that utilize 7/16-inch diameter valve train geometry. Installation requires proper rocker arm geometry verification and lifter bore alignment to ensure the pushrod sits perfectly vertical under all operating conditions. The lightweight design—0.26 lbs per unit—minimizes reciprocating mass, allowing higher RPM capability without excessive valve spring loads. For those pursuing competitive engine builds or restoration projects demanding OEM-equivalent reliability with modern precision manufacturing, this Trend Performance pushrod is an essential component for any serious performance application.
