Overview:

The Manley Chrysler/Dodge 6.1L HEMI 5/16in Chrome Moly Swedged End Pushrods are precision-engineered components designed to enhance the valvetrain performance of your 6.1L HEMI engine. Crafted for enthusiasts and professional builders alike, these pushrods provide the strength and durability needed to support high-performance and high-RPM applications.

Whether you are upgrading your engine for street performance, racing, or heavy-duty use, these pushrods offer reliable operation and improved valvetrain stability. You’ll get peace of mind knowing your pushrods can handle increased valve spring pressures and aggressive cam profiles without bending or flexing.

Key Features:

Manley Performance pushrods are built with quality and performance in mind. Key features include:

• Constructed from 4130 chrome molybdenum steel for exceptional strength and fatigue resistance.
• 5/16 inch diameter with a .080 inch wall thickness, providing a robust yet lightweight design.
• Swedged ends ensure precise fitment and secure connection to rocker arms and lifters, reducing the risk of failure.
• Specifically designed for the Chrysler/Dodge 6.1L HEMI V8 engine, ensuring perfect compatibility and optimal valvetrain geometry.
• Set includes 16 pushrods: 8 for intake valves and 8 for exhaust valves, covering the entire valvetrain.
• Ideal for engines with upgraded camshafts, higher spring pressures, or increased RPM limits.
• Manufactured to exacting tolerances to maintain consistent valvetrain timing and reduce deflection.

Construction & Design:

These pushrods are made from premium 4130 chrome moly steel, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to bending under stress. The swedged ends are cold-formed to provide a secure and precise fit with the rocker arms and lifters, minimizing play and wear.

The .080 inch wall thickness balances durability with weight savings, helping to reduce valvetrain inertia and improve engine responsiveness. This construction ensures that the pushrods maintain their shape and length even under demanding conditions, supporting consistent valve timing and performance.

Installation & Fitment:

The Manley pushrods are designed as direct replacements for factory pushrods on Chrysler and Dodge 6.1L HEMI engines. They fit OEM rocker arms and lifters without modification, making installation straightforward for experienced mechanics and engine builders.

No cutting, drilling, or special tuning is required to install these pushrods. Simply remove the factory pushrods and replace them with the Manley set to upgrade your valvetrain strength and reliability.

What's Included:

• Set of 16 pushrods (8 intake and 8 exhaust) for the 6.1L HEMI engine

Ideal For:

• Performance enthusiasts upgrading their Chrysler/Dodge 6.1L HEMI engines
• Engine builders seeking durable valvetrain components for high-RPM or high-spring-pressure applications
