Why would you trust what someone over the internet says? Granted there are some great sources here, but were not there looking at your parts. Measure your own setup as there are many variables that can change the length. Buy a pushrod length checker like this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-7702-1/overview/

We're not trying to be dicks, it's just the truth, you have to find out for yourself. I'm going to be doing my first set here come summer time, there's plenty of how-to's on here and YouTube and Google and always ask around your local forums for some help.

Follow the measurement method posted above, if you have questions or doubts then post them. There are a lot of guys willing to walk you through the procedure and you will learn along the way.

For under $50 you can get an adjustable pushrod & digital caliper to measure and be more precise. I got my caliper at Harbor Freight for $24 last Sunday.
