" what length push rods will i need? "
hi there guys,
i know its going to be hard to guess this what i am going ask you but "what length push rods will i need to buy" please!
i will be purchasing new 195 cc AFR Elimnator heads, standard mill block,new tpis squished head gaskets equivelnt to .10 " off, standard 350 crank, 1.6 ratio roller rockers, comp roller cam, comp roller lifters and i want to buy the comp cam brand one piece 4130 chrome moly forged 5/16" diameter push rods!!!
there is standard length, then
-100 short
+ .050 " long
+ .100 " long
+ .150 " long
+ .200 " long
+ .250 " long
+ .300 " long
can any one please give any idea what length push rods i most likely will need to buy please?
i know this is the wrong way to do things but once i have the heads and ready to bolt all the new extras on i wont have enough time to wait to recieve the push rods sent over from the usa in the mail thats all so i was hoping some one may of done the same mods and be able to give me a rough guess what length i will need thats all!

You need to buy or borrow an adjustable length push rod and go through the proper procedure to determine what you need. No one on the forum can properly guess the length. They can tell you what they think it is, or what it should be, but the engine assembler is the only one who can check it and be sure.

I don't need my set of adjustables anymore if your interested. Just as an example, I put 195's on my 86 and my stock pr's were 7.890...after measuring, I needed 7.550's to maintain proper geometry.
