Default Need Help With Pushrod Length

A buddy of mine has some ported 853s that have been milled 0.18 and a comp cam 608/612 240/144 on a 112. It has ls7 lifters and Mahle flat tops with 4cc valve reliefs. It also has stock thickness head gaskets. What length pushrod should he need?

I'll say what every other person on here would say. Get a PR length checker.

If I was to guess I would say 7.4
You have milled heads + stock size PRs are 7.380 if remember correctly + the base circle of the aftermarket cam would be smaller than stock size.

I had to go with 7.5 with my new heads. If you have valvetrain noise pay the 19bucks and buy a checker!

Based on the PR's I would guess TFS heads. Just a guess though...
