Pushrod 8'125 X16 STD (Not Hardened)

Pushrods with a length of
8.125 inches (approx. 20.64 cm) are commonly used in high-performance or modified Ford small-block engines, specifically the 351 Windsor (351W). They are designed to accommodate aftermarket valvetrain components, such as guide plates, roller rockers, or aftermarket cylinder heads that require a longer-than-stock pushrod.
