I see the one machined bolt.....these are pressure fed like stock....not fed through hollow pushrods.......Cory

Let us know how these work out. Im contemplating on a set of these for my build...

Here's one Barry did with those rockers.
I like this "collection of pre-existing parts". 
I sure Barry would chime in if they were falling apart.

They will feed either way.

Are the adjusters ball for oem type cup end pushrods or cup adjusters for ball/ball pushrods?

[bn69stang]

yes they ball to ball with the T @ D  s , so more parts to buy  lol .....

Someone please explain why companies do this?  better geometry, lack of decent adjuster for cup pushrods, general laziness?

[Barry_R]

You are buying pushrods anyways in most cases.  The ball-ball stuff is readily available off the shelf in a day type parts in various wall thicknesses.

[drdano]

So it has nothing to do any improvement over a cup end pushrod at all?  If you ring Smith Bros right when they open usually your pushrods are built and in the mail that day, done it several times now.  Bummer to have to swap ends to suit new rockers.  Can a different adjuster be swapped in place?

I'll be going from POPS to T&D so that actually looks like it might work in my favor.  For those who have experience with both can you tell me if there is generally a PR length difference between the two?

[blykins]

In most cases the T&D pushrods will be cheaper.  I block the feed in the head and oil through the pushrods, so you can just snag any high quality oiling pushrod in 5/16 or 3/8.  Can cut your pushrod bill in half, considering there are lots of off-the-shelf choices with the more common ball/ball oiling stuff.
