When I measured, I came up with 7.385" Gauge Length

and is ls1 and ls2 the same?

I don't know

Base circle change will likely require a pushrod length change, best to buy an adjustable pushrod and measure. Buy pushrods last.

On my way down to TX Vette Saturday to work out some cold start idling issues in the tuning. After the motor reaches 120+ it idles great, for a medium lift cam around 875 rpm. Just right, imo

with the comp cam you need some 7.4's in her because of the base circle being smaller...
