Hardened Pushrods

[Stangcrzy87]

I need to get a new set of pushrods for my car, i talked to a mechanic and he said that i need to get harened pushrods. I know what pushrods are but i've never bought a pair, so i dont know the exact specifics for a 302, and where would be a good place to get them. help if u can
thanks

Why do you need new pushrods? New heads? Old pushrods bent? Thicker/Thinner head gaskets?

I have Jr windosr heads and an e-cam, when i installed it i just put the regular pushrods back in i want to replace them

I bought a set and using non-hardened pushrods are supposed to be a big no no. Don't remember why but it is on there web site...I have the book in front of me.......
