Default crane rocker arms

Im going to be putting the crane 1.8 RR's on the trans am in the next week. I have springs and pushrods, but was reading that you needed a smaller pushrod? Any light on this would be nice. as of now I have stock length pushrods.

I have the Crane 1.7's and I know the complete kit comes with the proper pushrods, guide plates and studs, as well as the rockers. I would give you the length, but they're packed away in the garage somewhere and I'm unable to walk due to a shattered femur. Also, I'm not sure the length would be the same between the 1.7's and 1.8's. The best thing to do is measure anyway.

Not sure what parts you have if you don't have the kit, but you need the rockers, 7.250" pushrods (7.350" with AFR heads), guide plates, studs and poly-locks.

Which springs do you have?
