I've got a blueprint for a Ford 302 Trans-Am race pushrod, but it's on paper, not file. Nothing for the FE.

The material seems to be a low carbon steel tube welded to a ball end. The race tubes are case hardened, but I don't know if the production tubes are.

Shoe.
 RE: Hollow. -- Barry R, 04/16/2003
All the aftermarket O.E. service pushrod prints we (Federal-Mogul) have on file for the FE specify a mild steel hollow tube with weld on or press in ends. The high performance parts are chrome-moly.

I have a set of O.E. pushrods for a 427, with stamped Ford logo, that appear to be forged as a solid piece (parting line running along the length of the pushrod). I kept them because they were so unusual,

You have to change pushrods too. Adjustables get ball and cup style. The non adjustables use ball ends on both pushrod tips. Pushrods for adjustable rockers are available from any auto part store, as are the rocker assemblies.
