ok guys, the car is going Tuesday for the new heart. I was getting all the parts together and I noticed that I have 8 short pushrods and 8 long pushrods. Is this correct or should I have 16 of the same length? I didn't notice the difference because the 8 long rods were in brown mopar wrappers.

So WrenchJeff, or Rander or anyone else who has changed out pushrods, am I screwed or is this correct? Also, these are the 6.1 pushrods. Thanks

I'm not expert AT ALL, but I kinda remember seeing a thread about how the rods are different...........

That is right, 8 are for the exhuast side and 8 are for the intake, this might help?

Manley show that the intake is smaller than the exhaust

I`m sorry I`m late to this. The intake pushrods are shorter. You have what you need.
