37 Ford build--IE: old Header issues thread /37 Ford/5.0/GT40P heads

[randyr]

Randy running threw some build log pics I ran up on your 69 302 with GT40P heads . Do you remember your push rod length that you used .

I have the exact engine in the 31 and the only thing keeping me from firing it is the push rods . I have a couple different length rods laying around and don't want to install the wrong ones . Ford should have just made the 302 standard length .

I didn't get the one's with this engine but I have some that are 7.030 .

Hey Bobby,
I looked through my receipts and it appears that I ordered new ones from Summit, part#CCA-7828-16, 6.936" in length. It appears from the paperwork that I returned a set that were 6.95 because they were too long. I didn't assemble the engine myself but I was supplying all the parts. I had a professional shop do it. I also used aftermarket roller rockers instead of the factory ones from the GT40P heads. Hope that helps!

Randy Thanks this will get me started . I went to Winners Circle and got the tool to check it . They like Chevys the most but have the Ford stuff also .
