LT1 Pushrods... Ok, I am upgrading my valvetrain. I am putting in some new valve springs and titanium retainers with a height of 1.800". I am installing GM LS7 lifters and a Comp Cams 503 cam. Do I keep stock length pushrods? I am looking at going chrom-oly on the rods but I dont know what length exactly.....I'm not very educated on valvetrain lol.
The only real way to know is to use a pushrod length checker and measure the correct length. If your heads haven't ever been milled, deck blocked, etc. etc. chances are 7.200" will be correct. I used the stock length when I had the cc503 and untouched heads, block, etc. Only thing is...I believe the LS7 lifters could throw a length off a tad because I forget exactly but they either have a deeper cup than stock or a little less deeper. Best way to go is to just measure. I would get the Trickflow hardened chromemoly pushrods they seem to be the best.
