 I agree with pbf777.  I went with the 'Trend' pushrods. Very good product.

Hi Royce,
Thanks for your warning about the intake gaskets. I told Roland and he asked if you can recommend a better type.
Thanks,

The gaskets that come with the Edelbrock heads are Fel - Pro made and equivalent to the Print - O - Leak. They are most unsatisfactory.

+1 - I had to have a 427 rebuilt some years back after it filled up with coolant from a failed intake gasket. As I recall, the rebuilder used an improved version with a metal perimeter around the water passage but I don't recall who produced it.

Hi guys and thank you for your help as regards the pushrods for Roland's FE428.
I ordered them from Tony at Smith Brothers, and they arrived today. About a week total turnaround time.
Tony was a great guy to deal with and I can really recommend them if you need any pushrods including custom made as
these were.

Yes, they were the winners. I tried to get in contact with the others without success.
