I have a F4TE 351w from a '95 Lightning i am putting into my Fairmont and i need to know what the stock length of the pushrods are for the roller motors.
None of the Lightnings have roller cams. The 94/95 and some late 93's (F4TE) are roller ready blocks, but no roller cam. I believe the pushrod length to run a roller cam in our trucks is 7.55" along with all the appropriate hardware and steel distributor gear.gtownkid said:94/95 L have a roller cam, and that is what i have is a roller cam
i plan on checking but just wondering once you get it together how would you know they were wrong?Matt95L said:Yeah should be right but i'd still get an adjustable pushrod and check the length.Its allot easier than terring your motor down a second time if they're not right.
how much hp could i loose from them being wrong?Matt95L said:Well if they were to long you'll get a valvetrain tick(Sewing machine like) or they just won't fit.If there to short you'll probally have a little play when setting up your rocker arms.
