UPDATE 12/13/09: We have pushrods!! The new pushrods came in this week. I got them all dropped into the motor. Last thing to do on the engine is set the rocker arms and bolt down the intake. I figured I'd also drop the oil pan and give it some fresh paint to match the block.
Comp Cams Magnum pushrods. They feel beefy.
Freshly painted oil pan...drying in the garage.
For those that wanted to see the full sweep of the headers on the engine. Here's both sides. Just another excuse for me to take pics of the engine.
