Ford 427 SO push rods
Where can I get a brand new set of push rods for a 427 SO solid lifters/cam
the rods must round at the tip and a tapered cup at the other end, solid shaft no lubrication shaft.

rod length will depend on whose lifter, when they were made, whether jupiter is in the 7th house, etc, if you have a sample any of the rod makers can duplicate it for you
different manufacturers measure pushrods differently

You may need to buy an adustable push rod length checker,
fit it to your engine, measure it with a dial gauge, and then order the appropriate type / length from smith brothers. They tell you how to measure it.

Smiths will turn out a set in a couple days for you, you can do the adjustable rod, i always prefer a sample if a have one, that way i don't have to worry about me making a mistake, if they are wrong then its on them

Cool.
Btw, they are not a solid shaft. They are still tubing, but capped off at both ends.

You ought to give Brent a call. The Trend pushrods are the Rolls Royce of pushrods. I doubt it is possible to do better. Smith makes nice stuff but the best out there are the Trend pieces.
