Manton 11/32 pushrods...Vendors and Members please chime in
The quest for optimal parts for my build is still underway. I've checked my regular vendor lists and dont have luck. Does any VENDOR or MEMBER know where i can purchase Manton 11/32 pushrods?

My understanding is its for better valvetrain stability and extends the life of your parts. Jake might be able to explain it better. I also read a link written by vettenuts that was posted on CF

Those are the biggest that will fit stock heads. A stouter pushrod can help with stability, especially if you have flex. If you don't have flex, it buys you very little. But there is no downside besides potential clearance issues. I wouldn't swap out hardened 5/16 if your setup works. If you need new pushrods, might be worth the few extra bucks.

Call them directly. I called a few years back to ask some questions. Terry later called me from his car and then made me a custom pushrod with removable end so I could play with the pushrod length by cutting the tube. He was great to work with and from what I have read the company still carries his ethic. If you call them directly and order, you will have them in days to any length you request. Note that they use overall length and not gauge length for their measurements.
