Need help on what push rod length for 5.3. Doing a rebuild on a 5.3 and i got a ls6 cam and ls7 lifters and I'm going to mill the stock 5.3 heads .030. I've seen a lot of threads on the ls6 cam in a 5.3 but none are the same setup as mine... Can anyone help on what push rod length to get? Or who to go to for help? Thanks..
Missing one key piece of info that anyone wanting to guess pushrod length would need.
If you can't figure out what it is, sell your tools now. Frankly asking the question probably guarantees a bad outcome anyway.

You will have to check using an adjustable push rod length checker and doing the calculations. Plus you will need the head gaskets you plan to use and the old head bolts to torque everything down. The Comp Cams checker is cheap and easy to use and I torqued to 50 ftlbs for the check.
