Ok just guessing on what sounds bout right..... what do ya'll think?
Most people are running a 7.4 length with a cam. I have milled heads and about to put another cam in so i'm guessing since the heads milled i should go the next size down on pushrods which is 7.375?
Thanks,
Dennis

Absolutely, the Comp one was $18 last I checked...
Don't guess the pushrod length, or go by what someone on a forum tells you, spend the $18 and do it the right way so you don't hurt your lifters or pushrods or another valvetrain component, especially with milled heads...and if you replaced the lifters with LS7 lifters, the pushrods will need to be even shorter since the LS7 lifters have a taller cup in them than the original LS lifters.
There's a sticky in the internal section with a thread that I started titled "lifter pre-load", it has a lot of good info that you will need when you go to calculate your pushrod length
