Push rod length

Kendog 170 said

My 1976 440 /500 440 Source stroker kit with Stealth heads. I have adjustable stainless bushed rockers . Push rods are ball/ball factory length for hydraulic lifter . My geometry is fine. I'm going to go solid cam and lifters. Does anyone know the length pushrod needs to be for solid cam and lifter setup set up ?

Ok, I’ll ask. Did you actually check your geometry? Because if it’s not on the money, now is the time to fix it. And fixing it will require longer pushrods.

As PRH said, measure twice, but one. Or something close to that.

I just hate to see questionable or even “close” geometry go when you are right there and can nail it down.

Your valve train will thank you for it in more, stable RPM and longer guide and valve job life.
