Pushrod length help I need to order a set of pushrods today so i can sneak my new heads on while the wife is away for the day next week. I know I should probably measure and go that route but surly enough people have done similar swaps that their should be a good guess. I don't want her to know I'm working on my car again, she would kill me.
I have a Comp. 224/228 581/588 112 with a set of Patriot Performance stage 2 heads that have been milled .010 perimeter style since this is on a 98 C5. I'm thinking the 7.4 stock length should be fine. What do you guys think?
Thanks again

There are a few things that go into finding the correct pushrod length.
New Cam Base Circle
Head Gasket Thickness
Cylinder Head Milling
With your specs, a 7.404" PR would be ideal. So, the 7.400" will work fine.
