Default Hardened steel pushrods

Can I run hardened steel pushrods instead of chromoly with guideplates?
Stock cam, 1.6 rockers. Springs have around 130# seat pressure.

I wanna install my rockers this weekend and am going to summit to pick up some stock length pushrods. I can get CC-7808-16 for $40 vs over $100 for chromoly.

Absolutely. Lingenfelter sold them at one time and I ran them with their 211/219 cam and then with an 847 cam. They are fine for what you are wanting to do.
