Has anyone used retrofit roller lifters? Same pushrod length as L98?
Hi guys, I have a set of Speed Pro retrofit roller lifters (pivot link style) in the mail off ebay. I am finally going to convert my 327 to use the custom roller cam I have.
Will the retrofit roller lifters use the same length pushrod that a stock 87+ roller motor (like a TPI L98, etc) would use, or will I have to measure and get custom pushrods?
Thanks!
Steve

No, they're not the same.

Thanks for your very fast reply. I found that the manufacturer specs 7.29, which I'll order up. My block is undecked and I'm using normal 0.022 head gaskets.

You'd be better to wait, measure, and then order the correct ones which may or may not turn out to be that length.
