You need a pushrod length tool.

Are the heads already on the car?

Comp Cams High Energy 5/16" diameter, 6.876" length pushrod set for 1979-1985 Ford 5.0L with flat tappet cam.

year one, $25.95

andy do you know if the motor has ever been decked? how positive would you be on those pushrods?


heads are bolted the the block sitting on the stand

here ya go everything else is gonna be a guessing game since you have no idea about the "old 306"

why would you want to push rod. thats mean!!!lol

would never be positive without a pushrod check tool, try autozone think they have them, don't know if it was ever decked, don't think so

Measure it, go from there.

do you have the tool or maybe could you come by and give me a hand?

I have the tool, swing by and you can pick it up.

Deffinatly measure, only sure fire way to know.
