Default L98Pushrod?

About to buy some edelbrock perf. rpm alluminum heads for my 85 and was wondering what size pushrods I need. Will the stock length work good? The cam I was going to go with is about .490" lift. Any one have a simular set up, any opinions and/or answers would be greet.

Get an adjustable pushrod, that way you'll know exactly what length to get. I believe there are more factors involved than just knowing what cam. What type rockers, stock stamped won't use the same length as full rollers, etc.

I'm running those heads, 60739, and I had to go with aftermarket pushrods. If I remember correctly, Edelbrock says you need +.100 if you're running stock rockers.

Best to use a pushrod length checker to see exactly what you need.
