stock pushrod length????? I got a 98 z-28 and bent half the pushrods on a missed shift. I have tried to order new ones twice and have been given the wrong length both times. I been told it is 7.4". Does anyone know???
the rumor of 7.38 is not correct i had a set micd by a machinist on 2 machines and they average 7.395.The longest was 7.398 and the shortest was 7.393.i dont know where this 7.38 came from but its not right

I measured one from my 01 and it was 3.84
So we can conclude that they range from 3.8x> 3.9x (must depend on where they were made or since they are not hardened, that they stretch.)

Verdad Gallardo yeah they must have been made in a different plant or something.you can see the variations in the tips of the pushrods that makes one longer then the other.the hole n some of them is off center a little bit making it a hair longer.I bet when they are installed the height difference has much less variation.you will see what i am talking about if you really look close at the tips.
you're best off getting a tool and measure the actual length you need, just rent one from autozone or something, you gotta tear the car apart anyways right? The stock pushrods are weak and were all machined to one size so they could have been shorter or longer than being perfect.
