I've never heard anything bad about manley push rods, and SDPC----> has a pretty good price on them. 7.4" are the ones as long as everything is stock. I wedged a prybar between the spokes of my crank pulley and had no issues.... would I recomend it... prolly not, and im sure someone else has a better idea on that one! Good luck on the install, its fun and really easy.

Sorry, I meant like if you milled the heads and raised compression or something like that. With those mods you will be perfectly fine with the 7.4".
