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.<br /><br />Otherwise, these are probably the simplest and cheapest way to measure for pushrod length. <a href="http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-7701-1/overview/" target="_blank">http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-7701-1/overview/</a> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
