who knows...measure and find out. your heads are milled i think thats what your post says.

too many variables..

how much are the heads milled
how thick are the head gaskets
whats your lifter preload spec
what rockers are you running?
stock valve length?

etc...

best advice. get a PR checker.

If you dont know how much your heads are milled, use a pushrod checker. I can add one in the cam package if you'd like and then just call me up once you measure and we'll send the pushrods.

Most places ship the pushrods pretty quick, just get the checker and plan on measuring when the parts are installed enough to get an accurate measurement. On the Vette, I usually measure then spend time putting in the radiator, steering rack, ect. so by the time I have most everything complete the pushrods arrive and the motor can be buttoned up.
