pushrods out of an ls1

so my g-pa has a c5 with the ls1 and he has 5 sets of pushrods and i was wondering if theyll work in my plain ole small block chevy, he siad they were 5/16 and hardened. im going to be using guide plates so i have to have the hardened ones.

the only reason im wondering is becuase there free and i dont wanna pass that up

whiteray: measure the length and compare the ends of each style, if they are identicle ues them, if not you'll have valve train geometry problems that will cause rapid wear.

RE: pushrods out of an ls1

he said they were 5/16 and 7.800 inches long that sounds right but he mentioned something about hydraulic pushrods (ive only heard of hydraulic lifters)? i have no clue.

RE: pushrods out of an ls1

As long as the length is correct and the ends fit into the cups on the lifters and rockers, they will work. I have not tried this combo yet so, I do not know if it has been done.
