Default Pushrod length for ETP 215 heads

Does anyone know what length the pushrods should be for these heads?

My installer ordered the stock-length pushrods, but I guess because these ETP 215 heads are raised, the pushrods are way to short...now I gotta wait longer for my car!!

I agree! I am using 8.10's. 8.05 were just a tad to short and the 8.1's are close as long as you are using stock lifters and rockers.

Thanks, just out of curiosity, because I am somewhat uneducated...what is the size of the stock pushrods? I just want to see how far off they are. Thanks again!

SpinMonster, I received your PM and your inbox is full, so here you go...

New Era Performance, a supporting vendor, was able to get me a set of these heads. They had 2 sets on order for like 4 months, one of them being mine, and the other one is already taken by someone else w/ a z06 from around my area.

Thanks,

Nick
