Pushrod recommendations

Any brand recommendations for a street/strip pushrod for a 455 Oldsmobile? I may require a custom length due to aftermarket roller rockers. Thanks

I have been using Manton for any custom lengths. Have also used a ton of Comp Cams. They are available in .050" increments.

Good to know, I will also be needing a set of 3/8" push rods.

Smith Brothers in mine , fast turnaround and knowledgeable. They are local to me so I have seen the facility, met sales engineers in person. Good folks.

I buy from a guy who makes them right here in beautiful sunny Florida. I get ‘em in a day and they’re first quality.

I have used Isky adjustable pushrods with solid lifters. If you aren't quite sure exactly what length you will end up with, they could be worth considering.
