Pete Phillips Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I need to buy one valve push rod for a 263 straight eight engine. One push rod is completely missing from this engine (1953). The rod is 12-1/8 inches tall. I have already tried Wheatbelt and Bob's Automobilia. Used one is fine. Will try to attach a photo of what I need. Any help appreciated.Pete Phillips, BCA #7338Leonard, TX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50jetback Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Pete,Try these, although his measurements don't seem the same as yours you could have him re-check Buick Special Straight 8 Hydraulic Lifters Push Rods | eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) I have a spare parts 220 cu in engine, but don't know if the push rods are the same... I checked and they do not look anything like the one in your photo...Sorry, Edited June 13, 2011 by Mark Shaw (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick W. Brooks Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Pete: I have a number of boxes of NOS straight eight push rods and will check in the next day and respond. I will count the number if they are right and let you know in my next posting. Thanks, Patrick W. Brooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick W. Brooks Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hello Pete: Do not have what you need. Have some for other years and models and some which are not matched with a part number. However, none at the length you need. Sorry. Patrick W. Brooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
