Matt,
Just wanted to let you know the stock length 7.400 pushrods work fine but I would suggest to go ahead and buy a hardened rod like a manley. PM me back and i can get you some prices...Thanks hope this will help ya....

Stock length should be fine, unless your changing to a diferent ratio rocker... Like going from 1.7 to 1.8... I would def do the hardened rod, and they can be had from multiple sponsors for a decent price...

If you need any more info, I just got done with this swap last winter and can give ya any input needed. Let me know.

Could also give you a hand... Depending on the when and where. Doing it yourself isnt bad, but there are a few things that really do help if your leaving the heads on....
