How do I find what size pushrod I will need and if I need adjustible rockers?
I have some from my last set up and they were comp heat treated 7.400
my set up is in my sig
and might have 6.0l milled a little to get 67-68cc
also with this big of a cam can I run comp OEM's lifters safely? I thought about the comp R's but heard theres a lot of adjusting to run them
maybe I'm wrong?
Been thinking about running those new HS rockers but want to make sure I wont need a adjustible rocker
thanks

Comp makes an adjustable pushrod (P/N #63-7702-1) that is ~$20 that you can make into different lengths (6.800"-7.800" in .050 increments) and setup the proper preload with that, then order the pushrods that length. Thats what I'm getting and am going to use to determine what length I need. That way, I can order a pushrod that should give me the proper preload without shimming much.

you will also need to get a checker spring ... basically its a very very weak spring you put on so you can rotate the assymbly and check your geometry and PR length... basically you can push it closed with ur hand ...
I had T&D Shaftmounts and with milled heads .015 i think they were to get the geometry correct i had to run 7.25 PRs

If your heads are unmilled, you should still be around a 7.400 pushrod. Maybe a 7.350 because your cam is so big. Best thing to do is set up one cylinder with your stock pushrods, set the pre-load, and rotate the motor. Watch the rocker tip to see if it stays relativly balanced across the center of the valvestem tip. If it tends to stay more to one side, you will need a diffrent pushrod.
