Pushrod - 7/16 .165 w/ .210 Radius 8.800 Long

The Pushrod - 7/16 .165 w/ .210 Radius 8.800 Long from TREND PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS is a precision-engineered valve train component designed for high-performance and modified engine builds. As an experienced mechanic, you know that pushrods are critical to accurate valve timing and lift transfer in overhead valve (OHV) and small-block architectures. This 8.800-inch pushrod is engineered for applications requiring extra clearance and tighter tolerances, making it ideal for stroker builds, high-lift cam swaps, and custom engine modifications where stock pushrods fall short.

Manufactured from chromoly steel, this pushrod delivers the strength and fatigue resistance essential for aggressive valve train dynamics. The 7/16-inch diameter with 0.165-inch wall thickness strikes a balance between rigidity and weight, reducing inertial mass in the valve train while maintaining structural integrity under high RPM and high-load conditions. The double-taper design with extra clearance ball ends accommodates various rocker arm geometries and minimizes binding at extreme valve opening angles—critical for maximum flow in performance applications. The 0.210-inch radius on the ball ends provides optimal contact geometry with roller rockers and shaft-mounted rocker designs, ensuring consistent valve actuation across the entire lift profile.

Engine builders and performance enthusiasts tackling stroker conversions, big-displacement builds, or radical cam profiles will benefit from the precision construction and clearance characteristics of this pushrod. At 0.28 pounds per piece, it's light enough to support high-RPM applications while maintaining the durability needed for track, street, and competition use. Verify pushrod length and ball-end geometry compatibility with your specific rocker arm type, lifter design, and cylinder head before installation to ensure proper valvetrain geometry and prevent binding or inadequate preload.
