pushrod mesaurements?

i'm getting ready to put the top end on my 305, and i'm hitting a stumbling block.

i need to know if i have to use a special length pushrod for 1.6 rockers?

i'm using a set of ported 416 heads, and a 305 shortblock with a summit 1103 cam.

Re: pushrod mesaurements?

Ideally you should use a pushrod checker to determine actual length required if change heads / rockers from stock

Re: pushrod mesaurements?

the lift on the cam is .457 and the max lift on the heads is .480 with 1.250 diameter springs. The lifters I'd be using are LUN-72330LUN (summit racing parts number)
