So I am going with LS7 lifters cuz they are cheap and will perform, but can someone tell me what the stock length for the pushrods is? The standard is listed at 7.40" on their website but I want to be sure that is the length I need to purchase.

Well I think the Torquer v2 is a great choice! (what I have ). Get the kit with cam, springs (get doubles), and pushrods. The standard GM lifters should be fine. I also had a lifter tick, which bent the broke a pushrod and wore a hole in my head But it did give me a reason to cam it! Good luck

I am hoping I do not have any damage to anything else... I cannot afford more than what I am already spending. As long as nothing else goes wrong it will be a nice setup

Stock is SUPPOSED to be 7.400 but i've heard that they measure to be about 7.385. But generally people go with the 7.4's. You should measure the preload though to determine an exact length for your setup.

Would you care to elaborate on how one would go about doing that?
