Dose anyone know about S/B mopar

[f_inscreenname]

Building a 360 mopar for my boat I noticed that the push rods are solid. why??????? I have always worked on Ford and Chevy that are hollow for oil flow.I also know that oil come up into the heads and goes through the rocker shaft. But why use (what looks like) Hydro lifters. I just want to understand. Mark

The hollow/solid pushrod has nothing to do with hyd lifters. The hollow push rod is just one method to oil the rocker. Some of the Ford V6 had solid pushrod, and the oil for the rockers came up thru the head to the rockers.
