I just purchased a set of trickflow 56cc heads for my 86 LB9. Being that they are aluminum heads w/ guideplates I assume i need to get hardened pushrods. Ive been searching threads for the last hour and am kind of shooting blanks. What length pushrods do I need to get? 7.8 in? or do I need to get a length checker? Also do I need to use non self aligning rockers?

Thanx

 

if the heads have guide plates dont use self aligning rockers...it will be bad. and your best bet on the pushrods is to measure cause if you take someones word for it and they are wrong again it will be bad.... and you wont be happy so measure them.
