Hey, Everyone , I building 396 ci Big Block and my Question is I am installing a roller Camshaft and I wanting to use a performance Mechanical Fuel Pump I have Heard that using a Mechanical fuel with a roller camshaft will wipe out the camshaft because of the fuel pump push rod and that you need to use a Electric fuel pump . Are they any type of Fuel pump push rod I should use or do I need to Install a Electric Fuel Pump ? Any help I would be greatfull. Thanks in Advance !:yes:

I am using an ARP push rod with the bronze wear tip against the Lunati Voodo billet cam. I also use a stock mechanical pump instead of a "high performance" one to lessen the chance for wear on the cam lobe. If I ever get to the track, I'll use a high performance mechanical one to keep the fuel moving. FWIW.

Im running the crane(or comp?) brass tipped one as recommended by the chevy dealer I bought the motor at.
Ive read that some mushroom,and some don't.Roll of the dice?

What camshaft and part nr? If its cast core, GM steel core or aussie tempered core you can use a regular pushrod. If billet you need a bronze tipped pushrod. Check with the cam manufactor what they recomend and follow that advice.

This pushrod seems almost to good to be true? Dont know what lifetime you can expect?

contact your cam company, they can suggest what pushrod will work with their cam.
