If doing the trunions check our site for the bronze bushings. Avoid the needle bearing type.

Ok so as long as they aren’t the needle bearing type the name doesn’t matter.

Went with the CHE. Sadly you guys did not have those so I had to go with BTR. But I will be buying my oil pump from y’all for sure. Since I have your attention how positive are you that the 7.425 pushrods will work with my SS4 no-fly cam that I just ordered a little nervous about having the wrong size pushrods because this is going to be done in a weekend won’t be able to leave car sitting under the knife to wait for a different size.
