Pushrods for SBC's can be bought in a variety of lengths depending on what has been done to the block, cam, heads, valves, etc. This is so you can get the contact patch between the rocker arm tip and the top of the valve correct. If the engine you intend to put them in is not modified with a decked block, shaved heads, etc. then the stock pushrod length should be just fine.
Is this the info you're after?

Derek,
I still have the push rods from the engine for the 461 heads that I sold you. If you want them I'll bring them to Dallas with me the next time I come up.

Derek,
Two things:
1) The push rods I have are 7.80". Is this the size you want?
2) I won't be coming to Dallas for about another month. I can put them into a USPS Small Flat Rate box and send them to you.
Let me know.
