Trend or Manton. Trend makes pushrods for most of the big houses including Comp. I dealt directly with Trend with my custom tapered pushrods.

Default Trend Pushrods

Never heard of Trend. I will have to check them out. I am putting a LS9 cam in a LM7. Also, any suggestions on trunnion rebuild kits? Roller or solid?

Most pushrods you look at with the exception of Smith Brothers and Manton are actually made by Trend. They simply stamp the vendors name on the pushrod even though they are the manufacturer.

As for the rockers, if staying with a GM head with powder metal guides I would go with the Straub kit if it were me. Aftermarket heads with bronze guides, I would go with Yella Terra and ensure a correct wipe pattern.
