250 push rods - need help

[michael_cini]

I just discovered that my US 250 engine has non-adjustable rockers. I am getting ready to install a Oz 250-2v head on my US engine. The Oz head came with adjustable rockers. Where can I get the push rods for the adjustable rockers for my 250 engine? I think it would be a good thing to use the adjustable variety.

Help please!

Almost certainly they're available from the stores like Summit. Buy or borrow a pushrod length checking tool, and measure free length for the pushrods with adjust screws lightly seated only. Add 60 thou to the average length and you should be on the money.

Try FE 352-360-390-406-427-428 pushrods, as they are similar to the 250. Asside from hydralic and non hydraulic, there are two kinds of lifters, two kinds of ball ends, and they generally site at around 9.62" depending on type. But the lifters vary 150 thou, and the 3/8" rocker ball varies by half the rocker ball diameter, or 187.5 thou. So it could just as sooner be -/+ 0.3375 less (9.28"). A head plane or block decking could result in the need for 60 thou shorter pushrods.

Aussie 250 ones are not the same, the US 250 engine is taller, and the cam is higher in the block.

I've found that the world wide web has US pushrods in any length, and another Ford engine will yield a suitable result.

Then all you need is adjustable rocker arms, Bill
