I need pushrods

I want to make some art out of pushrods.  Need a minimum of 60.

Anyone want to send me whatever ones you have laying around that won't be going back in an engine?

Preferably we'd coordinate something so that they are all the same type/length? But I'm not gonna be a choosey beggar

May I make a suggestion? 

A local Napa has a machine shop that does everything, roll in there with a box of donuts and talk the the head wrench, ask if you go through his scrap bin or if he'd set push rods aside for you.

Great idea.

I want to make some ...what?... out of pushrods.

I will have 16 when I finally get around to getting the right length pushrods for my LS.  I have no idea when that will be,  but they're yours.

I'd think pretty much any machine shop is going to have a bunch of them in the scrap bin.  Some of them may be slightly bent, but it may not be enough to discern unless you roll them on a flat surface.

Yeah, just realized that.  Autocorrect ate a word

Art.  Wanna make some art

How about a Garfunkel?

I probably have at least 5 dozen Volvo Amazon pushrods laying around. Unfortunately they're mostly in parts cars. 

I can probably find an LS's worth and a SBC's worth...but not 60 of same length. 

Let me know if you want/need either of those sets, or both. 

Funny, I was just digging through my bin of random fasteners yesterday wondering why I kept so many old LS pushrods I now have to sift through. I have at least one set laying around, possibly another somewhere. Shoot me a PM if you want them and I'll send them your way.

I was actually thinking that LS motors would probably be the easiest to find through here.  Would love 'em.  I'll send some PMs later.  Thanks guys
