I've built a set of these and even made a thread here on homemade engine building tools. The problem with using these pushrods is you need an 8" caliper to measure them. That's a minimum $30 for a halfway decent one. If you're going to do some other machine work, it may be worth the investment in the calipers.

Otherwise, these are probably the simplest and cheapest way to measure for pushrod length. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-7701-1/overview/
