Pushrod length 7.400 / 7.350
There seems to be a lot of talk about pushrod length. I realize the only correct way to know is to measure. But I am curious to know what most are using in similar set ups. More specific I have a 2007 5.3 LY5. I plan to use the LS7 lifters with a Lunati cam. I know that these are a bit taller than stock so a shorter pushrod like the 7.350 may be necessary. I have also read others who are using the 7.400 without problems. The heads and block are stock and have not been resurfaced. Any thoughts?

Not sure if this has been mentioned before. There seems to be a lot of references about "LS7" lifters. The same part number is used in the 5.3 from the factory. AC Delco # HL124, GM # 17122490. I do not know when the LS motors switched to this number but maybe this will shed some light into the difference in push rod length 7.350 and 7.400.

ok so they were saying the stock lifters wouldnt hold to an aftermarket cam with 7.4s, thats why the ls7 ones were applicable, but using the 7.35s, but would the stock lifters hold for the usual 7.4s?
