I have a 63 327 converting from solid lifter to hydraulic. Is the stock push rod the same for both? If not, what spec should I order.
Thanks for your help!

Before you do this conversion, do a web search on "SBC lifter failure" or "wiped camshaft". Lots of folks reporting poor quality flat tappet lifters wiping camshafts and sending debris into engines.
As long as you are using flat tappets the push rods are the same. I would highly recommend GM performance lifters. You'll pay more but you know what you have.

Many variables in an engine build can affect pushrod length.
The only correct way is to measure and buy the correct length pushrods.
