Gurus, need suggestions on pushrod length Im in the process of buttoning up a heads and cam install and looking for opinions. 243 heads milled .035 and a .040 Cometic head gasket. Trex v2 cam, Comp 850-16 lifters. Suggested preload is 70 thousandths on these lifters
From 0 lash on 7.425s Im getting 2 full turns to 22lbft.
On stock 7.4 im getting a lil over 1.5 turns to 22lbft.
Gonna go out and get a few wipe pattern checks.
What length would you guys suggest I start with?

Onebadws6 hooked me up with a set of 7.350 Pushrods to check it out. I have 7.425, stock 7.4 and 7.350 lengths now. Motor is still out of car so Will see how she looks this evening
