Well you should measure that with a adjustable pushrod. If you can't get a adjustable pushrod to check then a stock length or .025" longer SHOULD work, but don't quote me on that. So probably 7.400"-7.425" would be what you want.

Ditto. Even if someone told "xxx" size will work, I'd still doube check. Every car is a little different. However, the LSx cars seem almost too easy to work on. I bet you'd be surprised at how many people couldn't set a distributer or lash valves.
