Pushrods
#6
Did a lil research...yea, go figure.
the main reason to change the rods is that the cam is most likely a smaller diameter, so you need a longer push rod to compensate.
So i just need to findout the diameter of my cam and stock.
First swap so I'm trying to gather the technical info. Valvetrains aren't something i've delt a whole lot with.
which reminds me i used stock push rods in my blazer with a 465/488 cam and Dart Iron Eagle heads. I should probably check on that too.

Your signature does not state what size engine you have. Assuming that you have a 5.3 liter, your stock cam has a base circle of 1.617". According to my calculations, your new cam has a 1.539" base circle. If you have any other questions, you can call Comp Cams help line at 1-800-999-0853.
