I'm looking for a set of SB V8 pushrods same length as in the photos.
7.375 would be about it.

That length is for adjustable hydraulic, correct?

That's what Comp Cams says, but it's actually an "it depends".

273 solid lifter pushrods are 7.50. I'm pretty sure that the 340 6 pack adj. rocker hydraulic pushrods are around 7.23. But also "it depends" on block decking, head milling and # of valve jobs, which increases valve stem height. All of these creates a need for shorter pushrods. Unless I'm missing something, I always felt that the Comp Cams spec was some sort of compromise. Ideally, find the length you need with an adjustable pushrod and compare it to a known length or send it off to a pushrod manufacturer.
 
I had to have Smith Brothers make me a custom set for my 273 hydraulic setup, The TA pushrods were too long and the geometry was wrong.
Save yourself a migraine and call them to talk about it.
 
I have a new set of comp 7692-16 chromoly and heat treated. They are listed in the mechanical parts for-sale section. They are pretty close at 7.342 long. Let me know
