does anyone know the correct pushrod length to use for putting d0oe heads on a 302, i ordered 6.3xx will those work with stud mount RR's and adjusting?

lol......you just made the cardnial mistake!! there is no such thing as a universal pushrod length used between motors with XXX head being used, you need to buy a length checker and measure for proper geometry, this is why when building a motor the push rods are never ordered with all the rebuild stuff and are often the last item to be ordered

well, I ordered the stock length which I think was 6.346 or something. That is the last part I needed. I kinda have a small one day window to put them on myself with a friend that's coming into town and I wanted to try and have all parts ready to go

you need to check the roll pattern and you either will need checking springs or converted lifters to set up /check geometry, otherwise your 1 day window will cost you more than just time
