Default what length pushrods for this cam?

So my cam is a 224/221 .581/.566 on a 110lsa. I picked it up from a buddy used and its a comp cam, preety sure its a custom grind goin by the part number which is 54-000-11...

Just trying to figure out what length pushrods ill need. This is goin in my stock 5.3 that the heads have not been off so there wouldnt be anything to take into consideration there....

Also could someone point me to a good place to get a decent low prices pushrod?

Thanks!

7.38x" was stock length. Really, the only way to get an accurate length in there is to measure it with one of the adjustable pushrod tools. There's enough variance in block deck height, lifter bore machining, cylinder head machining, etc straight out of the box from GM that you can't really guess at it, especially since that appears to be a "custom" grind cam that very few will have any first-hand experience with.

Thanks Matt! I was kinda figuring it would come down to measuring, i think i have a pushrod tool around here somewhere so ill have to play around with that a bit, what would you suggest torquing down the rockers to to check for play? This is my first go around with an LS engine...

THanks!

You'll torque them to 22ftlbs, same as OE torque spec when you check your pushrod length.
