Hi, I realized there are a lot of posts regarding the stock height differences between oem and aftermarket pushrods height. Typically from what Ive read, the stock oem pushrods vary from 7.38 to 7.40. This is where my question comes from as I have a set of aftermarket 7.40 pushrods that I would like to use on my otherwise stock engine. I've read of folks that bent the oem pushrods by a missed shift and I want to prevent that and keep the valvetrain as stable as possible. Along with the pushrods I want to upgrade the rocker arms with the comp cams trunion upgrade. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you're using a stock cam, in that case the 7.400" pushrod may be a little long for your application because of the larger base circle of the stock cam. It's always best to measure for pushrod length, but after measuring I'm guessing your pushrod length will fall in the range of 7.375-7.385 (with a stock cam).

We can help you out with the trunion upgrade, we can provide you the kit and/or do the install for you, if needed.

I was hopping that I could just install the 7.40s with the stock cam and call it good. I just want maintain valvetrain stability the best I can. I know, I don't run in any class that requires any kind of stuff like running stock cam but I want my engine to run at its best.

I did purchase the trunion upgrade already and I'll be installing them once I get some downtime. Thanks for the explanation and offer for the trunion kit.
