Default P/V worries and pushrod length question.

I am getting it all back together now. I have a comp grind 232/236 .585.585 113lsa cam XER lobes no advance ground. Will that fot on stock heads with a 2.02 intake valve? I assume it will but now i am question it. any help would be great! This cam was fine

also do you think i need a longer/shorter pushrod? The head area was cleaned up but nothing to the extent of milling off alot.

I was thinking the stock pushrod should be fine. However due to the double springs hardended seems to be the way to go.

Also can i use any SBC poshrods of the correnct length? or are the pushrods LS1 specific? I am tryign to get it back together asap and if i have to order a set it will delay me a day or two.

As long as the pushrod is a one piece 5/16th (I think thats the diameter) piece with the correct length. Also, exactly how much is milled from the heads? And yes, get a set of hardened

If your heads have only had a "clean-up milling" of .005 or so, you'll be fine with stock length 7.4in pushrods and you'll be fine on the P/V clearance with that 113lsa and no advance ground in.
