Somehow while replacing the heads on my car, i lost a pushrod. I can't find it anywhere. There is a ford junk yard about 10 mins form my house. Do you think any 302 push rod would work? I want to get my car going very soon, so i don't want to mail order a new set.
just next day it from summit have the car running within 2 days thats what I would do. I wouldn't want to put used parts that I don't know the history of in my car.
The junkyard is a good idea. Just bring along one of yours to make sure the one you get is the right length. Roll the junkyard pushrod on a flat surface to check for straightness. Inspect the ends for wear also.

As long as the pushrod isn't bent, then it should be good to go. They say you want to get the same pushrods matched to the same lifters in the same spot when you put everything back in, but it shouldn't matter too much.
