Default Got some new pushrods....

I installed a TSP Torquer 2 and bought a set of Trick Flow chromemoly prods in the stock length (7.400). I'm good to go right?

It never hurts to measure, just to be on the safe side

I'm running stock length pushrods on that cam. You should be alright, but still doesn't hurt to check.

Oh BTW, this thing has 164k on it. This should be interesting. Before the bashing starts, I do have a backup engine sitting in my garage.

7.4's should be ok but, 7.425's might be a better option for comps smaller base circle.. As stated, measuring is best..You might also want to think about throwing on a new timing chain while you're at it.
