For those that run these same valve covers and coil brackets, where did you get your spark plug wires? I purchased a 10mm set from ebay and they were too freakin' short. Let me know which wires to go with. Thanks.

Nice! Are those correct length for Proform valve covers? How long? Part #? How do go about getting a set like those?

Firecore50 8.5mm 13" PF-3007 Spark Plug Wire Set $125

It's in my build list for my 416 Solid Roller...

I have Firecore50 now and they are awesome. Also, I run Manton Series 4 in my engine.

Order the 3007s with the 180 degree boots. You can manipulate them easier. The 135 degree boots I have now and don't like them. Harder to clear the header.

I have custom Firecores also. I had some Granatelli's before that. They are both excellent quality.

Those look good. Probably exactly what I'll be getting. Not sure on length yet though. Gonna start measuring later this week

No tapered ends. Al@Manton suggested just to go standard 3/8.
As mentioned, these pushrods are beefy to say the least. No deflection here for sure.
I'm actually in the middle of setting lash this very moment, and let me just say that setting the LLSR cam to zero lash is a piece of cake using the EOIC method. And in addition to the T&D shaftmounts makes it even easier. No need for pre load as in hydraulic lifters, and no need for feeler gauge as in standard solid roller. It's that easy. Set it at zero lash and you're done.
Sorry for the shitty pics. First pic is a valve at full lift, with excellent geometry. Also showing in the other pics, how much more room for even a larger pushrods, but not necessary for this build.
