Install the setup and then use the pushrod measure tool to see what size you need, thats the way to get it 100% right.

where do I get that tool? To be honest I thought it was a performance preference more than it was a set # for individual setups... woops.

If anyone with this setup could chime in it would be great, sounds like a pretty common setup and I dont really want to measure for the pushrods.

I think thunder has it. Its not a perfromance thing, you need the right rod so you have the correct lifter preload.

Why not just measure it since your going to have to be in there anyway and have the rods out to do the heads and cam. The checker just installs like a regular pushrod and you spin it unitl the the play is gone, then measure the distance. Pretty simple.
