Push Rod Question I will be going with a custom grind Cam Motion camshaft (makers of futral grinds) What are people using for a pushrod length? I will be obviously replacing my pushrods with a hardened version but what to buy....stock length? longer? shorter?
Figured I definately need to find out after reading another ls1 tech member's horror story.

All depends do you have stock heads? If so a stock length hardened pushrods from one of our sponsors are a good choice. If you have milled heads you will have to get a shorter length pushrod.

Oh ya, sorry about not specifying. I will be running factory heads just like they came from the factory with upgrade valve springs of course. So stock length of 7.40 is what i need?

Well I am not familiar with the base circle used on Cam Motion camshafts, I was hoping someone here would know. I will also be using the stock lifters.
