Pushrod length?

[TRL5115]

I'm working on a 2005 6.0, getting ready to do a short block. I've seen some info on the OE pushrods being too long, and that Ford has superseded them to a shorter length. Just wondering if this is something I should change or just go with my OE?

That info has to do with six fours i believe. Go with OEM and you should be fine.

Didn't Ford just start selling the same part number for both engines?

Yes. The 6.0 part number

I'll check tomorrow. Pretty sure I got an 8C # last time I got a set.

They are the same part # now. Pretty sure that the only choice at Ford. I have the part number at the shop if someone else doesn't have it. I have 16 on the shelf.

Yes. The 6.0 part number

I thought it was the other way around. The 6.4 has shorter ones and the “updated” 6.0 ones are the same part no. as the 6.4

Thanks for the info guys. Just wondering if I should use my OE ones or buy the updated Ford "shorter" ones. And what is the problem with the OE "longer" ones?

we have these in stock as well if you need these to go out.

If you are using a head that has been machined much beyond 3.74in then you will be wise to use the shorter ones, especially if you go with a non stock cam. If you use new heads or ones with very little taken off the original ones as long as they are straight will be fine.
