Glad to hear you found something.I would like to know how a .100" long pushrod could even possibly function in a motor like that. I find that .035"-050"needs to come off most blocks, and as much as .075-.080" off most heads, thereby making most OEM pushrods about .100-125"too long already. Another variable from engine to engine is the diameter of the base circle that the cam is ground on.This can also be affected by a change in cams within a given engine. I know that my 327 could use an OEM pushrod on several valves, and a.050" short on the rest and come up close but safe on the lift. I need to re ring this engine before using it next, so after its back in the car and alive again, I'll try some closer pushrods. At any rate, we'll git 'er right. Sounds like you're on the right track as well. Good luck ahead!!
