Hi `Brock,
I'm so sorry, please 4give me, but I just don't know I think I did know, but someone deleted it from my mind That seems 2 happen a lot ..I hope one of our expert Member's reads your request & can assist.
I attempted to do a web search on your request, but got confused and ended `up at a X rated site
What was your question again ?
What are U doing `up so early ? or have U been up all night ?
(I have, but I got paid 4 it: ) What's your excuse.....
`Brock, good luck on your TopSwap.....and Swaps.....
Peace/Happy from `Space -amen-

You need L67 Heads.

And here is a good video. He is not doing a top swap but you can see how everything is removed.

I have l67 heads, already on the engine, I just need to know if my l36 pushrods will work because one of the l67 ones I got doesnt look the best. I need to get the rockers on soon.

Have you measured an L67 pushrod and compared it to an L36 one? I'm pretty sure they are the same size, but double check it just to be sure.

Have you gotten ahold of ZZP about this? I have a couple of thoughts, but they are really only guesses right now. IMO I would use the L36 rods, but I honestly couldn't tell you for sure.

all else fails call summit racing support tech or jegs. if they are only that much diff in size i dont see the problem. it will just open up your valves farther.

I believe that they're the same- I know that I have Yella Terra L67 pushrods in my L36 Monte Carlo right now- you should be fine. I'd use whatever is cleaner looking... Be sure to rotate your engine by hand after the installation, with the valve covers off, to verify that it spins OK and there is no binding or contact.
