I need to know what pushrod length I need for 243 heads that have been milled .030 Motor is a flat top 370 with a 244/248 .612/.615 112 lsa comp cam

 

Must use a push rod checker to get the right preload and wipe pattern on the valve stem .Plus you need to know what thickness head gasket you ll be using

 

.040 head gasket

 

honestly im tired of ****** with my truck and its been settin in my driveway for 2-3 months now with the heads off and trans #10 toast. still have 1st and 2nd gear, i just want to get it to where i can drive it around town till i get the trans fixed. my other half is kinda pissed its sitten in the drive way and were still makin truck and insurance payments on it and its not movin..sorry with my little rant but i just figured some one here has had close to this set up and see what length they used

 

I would say around 7.350" to 7.375" ,Because heads shaved .030" and head gaskets .040" stocker are .055" so a total of .045". so you gained .045" closer preloads in the lifter so you need a shorter pushrod.

 

thanks man..sorry to say im half assin it but i just want it rollin slowly tired of gettin tickets too..looks like ill go with the 7.350

 

I have a brand new set of Trick Flow hardened 7.350" if your interested 80.00 shipped

 

What about the base circle of the camshaft? What about stock length NOT being 7.400" (it's shorter than that FYI)?

I'd say 7.375" or so will be close...but your best bet really is to measure, or at least check swipe pattern.
