221 Pushrod Length

[Anonymous]

I'm hoping someone will do me a big favor and help me out on finding the length of the pushrods on a 221 engine. They should be shorter than the AU 200/250 (I'm hoping), as those are about 20mm too long for my application. Thanks!

Im not sure on the 221 , but i know the 250's are 9.682" std.

That looks right with what I have for a 250. Now I just need to verify that the 221 is a little shorter and I'll be in good shape.

Hi, the old one I've got out of my engine ('68 XT 221) is approximately 8.05" from top surface of the cup to bottom of the ball end, or 7 and 7/8ths to the centre of the ball (measured with steel rule). Hope this helps.
