AKRA jr1, 1/5 mile dusty momentum track
Green plate ducar 196, cl-2 cam, basically stock as of now
I'm finally getting the chance to build up my first engines for my kids & I'm hoping to learn about push rods (and anything else people are willing to share).
I was making a list of all the light weight components I figured would help the engine then on Dynocams I found a 158 head with 3 angle valve job, short valves & all the light weight stuff I was going to buy anyways. With a head like that, would shorter push rods be a good addition? Are shorter push rods for a different scenario? I'm assuming every gram of weight removed from the valve train is going to help a plate engine. Any input you can share would be great.
