What kind of motor are you putting the cam in? What kind of heads are being used? Give us a little more information and we might be able to give you an answer.

Had 317's and the EPP cam - no clearance issues. Had the GM MLS gasket with it too

Stock length PRs

Hey:

Its not a cookie cutter motor, to many variables to tell you what length pushrod you need. You need a pushrod measuring tool to be exact, Comp sells them, so does other vendors. Also these ? are the things you should be going over with you engine builder, not a forum, that all the info is not given or known for your build.

Since you are using stock heads you should have clearance there. I would still measure to be sure though, every one of these motors is a little different.

I just asked to see the pushrods others went w that's all, just bc somebody said the used this length push doesn't mean I'm goin to buy them n slap them in my motor. I'm goin to buy the tool when I take my motor apart. I going to swap my na cam for a fi cam that's all. I never said anything about building a complete motor?
