Default HD adjustable push rods for 103???

Two questions for you all.

I read somewhere that you can use Chevy SB lifters in the 88 motors.

Can you use Chevy SB adjustable pushrods also?

I have a 2003 103 motor and I’m finding little info on what adjustable pushrod to use for a stroker motor. What SE or aftermarket adj. push rods should I use (length/diameter)?

Thanks for any tips. Bob

Chevys don't use adjustable pushrods. Since the rocker covers are easily removed the adjustment is done at the rocker arm. The lifters sure do look the same, but I've never tried to use Chevy lifters in a Harley.

I used them on a bunch of the SB Chevy style alcohol race engines with the roller top ends that I built but you're right, there was nothing GM or stock in the engine.

The harley adjustable push rods are completely different than and chevy adj rod. order your push rods from lakeshore harley and you'll get a 20% discount like 125.00 shipped if I remember right and you'll get every thing you need in the quick change kit.
