The Parts List indicates that C2OZ-6565-B is 6.825=E2=80=9D and so does =
the Ford Master Parts Catalog.

I have a 289 push rod in front of me, same part #, it is 6.825=E2=80=9D.

=20

It=E2=80=99s a bit confusing.   Slight differences in length should be =
OK with the hydraulic lifter system.

I=E2=80=99m not the expert about these details so I don=E2=80=99t know =
what lengths are acceptable.

The standard pushrod is C2OZ6565B which is 6.804=E2=80=9D in length. =
These are available from Rock Auto, eBay or other common parts dealers, =
Melling makes them as well (MPR-279).

=20

However I NEVER assemble an engine without measuring for true pushrod =
length. Unless you know everything about the engine internals I would =
strongly suggest you check it using a variable length pushrod tool

Hello

I am building a completely stock 260 for my very early MkI (0033). I =
have been searching for and collecting correct ford parts which in many =
cases are correctly dated for an engine from the E7KL engine group.

I am in search of new 5/16 pushrods. My SBF engine rebuild book says the =
length is 6.825. In searching the top brands and major part suppliers I =
can find 6.850 and 6.804 but none 6.825. (I did see a no name brand in =
this size but it was back ordered months.)

Can I use either of these lengths? Which one? Any other sources I am =
missing.

Thanks

Jim
