Get a push rod length checker. Check the length then order a set from TSP. Push rods arent expensive and are cheap insurance. You'll have it apart anyway.

i have these, good rods. just an FYI, LS stock pushrods are not even adequate for stock motors. they are weak and made of mild steel if i remember right. not good at all.
