853 heads...unmilled???

7.4 stock length... -.030 smaller base circle cam
*edit for my tired brain*see 2 posts down

and if you want to be really picky you can look at your cam card..or better yet actually measure the base circle and order custom length pushrods(really expensive)

soundengineer: Umm shouldn't you be adding length to the push rods for a cam with a smaller base circle, since they will have farther to reach?

sorry...backwards...a litte bit tired today...LOL

7.4 stock...-.030 small base circle.... = 7.430 pushrods...
so get 7.425 or 7.4........7.425 will be the closest

Pretty sure Thunder racing has a big selection of pushrods. Think they have 7.425".
