This auction is for a virtually new set of Manton adjustable pushrods for an early 392" Chrysler hemi engine running a roller tappet camshaft.   These pushrods are specifically for use with stock Mopar intake rockers and Donovan exhaust rockers.  I ordered them for my vintage 1966 top fuel dragster cacklecar.  My motor then had a Crower roller cam and did use the stock Chrysler intake rockers and Donovan exhaust rockers along with Isky roller tappets.  These are what Manton refers to as Series 5 pushrods that are 3/8" diameter with 1/4" ball pin adjustable ends.  These are not set up to be used as oilers, so there is no oil hole.  I ordered them to fit my heads and camshaft with exact measurements, hence the variation in lengths.  Also when I placed the order, I added one extra pushrod for each size as a backup in the event that one may get bent, (in the first detail picture with the adjustment tips you will see that there is one unused rod in each group).  I installed them and did just one start with the motor, during which it simply idled for about 31/2 minutes.  I think I whacked the throttle maybe three times during that start, but the motor was never run under power.  During the following winter I made the decision to switch over to adjustable rockers and so these pushrods were never used again.  I am including the custom wrench I made for use in adjusting them when installed in the motor as well.   The last picture is the invoice I received and paid when I received these pushrods in September of 2014.

You have my word that these pushrods are all in virtually new condition, however you must agree that you will also be acquiring them in as is condition with no existing guarantees or warranties included.   Sale is final ~ no returns offered.
