I am using the AFR 165 heads on my stock 92 shortblock. Would the pushrod be 6.272" which is stock or another size. I remember reading 6.3" but I am unsure. Also they will be used with FMS 1.6 RR if that has anything to do with it.
P.S.
The heads are stock 58cc heads.
Thanks
Dan

I have the same heads but used the comp pro magnum 1.6 RRs and I used the stock replacement hardened pushrods from Ford Racing. They worked fine for me.

I have ended up around 6.25" which is stock but you really need to measure each set.

Click to expand...

you should check it rather than guessing. you can lose a few HP and it might smoke some if you dont have the right length.

Dan its best to measure like they said. You have to make a solid checking lifter. Or just borrow mine. The pushrod checking tool is $11.39 from summit so it doesn't hurt to buy it. I'll let you borrow my solid lifter, cupcake

Ed Curtis gave me the pushrod length I needed. He said he would send me the correct ones. After installing them...he was right (go figure)

6.250" was the length (hardened).
