Manton 7.3 Powerstroke Series 3
Enhance your 1994-2003 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke with our durable pushrods. Stock ones are inadequate for heavy loads. We offer 3/8 and 7/16 diameter pushrods made from 4130/4135 seamless Chromoly tubing. They come with billet steel tip ends, CNC machined from 86L20 bar stock, core hardened, and triple tempered for increased impact and wear resistance. This ensures extended service life and improved valve train performance.
Upgrade to our Series 5 pushrods for competition engines, providing 105,000 p.s.i. tensile strength over Series 3, enhancing rigidity and valve timing accuracy. Trusted in various demanding applications, including top fuel, sprint cars, and marine engines. For custom setups, we offer pushrod length checking tools with proper ball radius to maintain stock rocker geometry. Ensure correct pushrod length to prevent premature hydraulic unit failure. Don’t overlook pushrods—they’re crucial for performance and longevity.
