when I measured my pushrods, I came up with a very similar result. The "ideal length" of one was shorter then the other. However, 7.8" ended up being a nice happy medium. I called up Ed at FTI and he had some on the shelf, So I drove over and picked them up.

I was very happy with how quiet the valvetrain was on this current engine VS my old sewing machine 347.

HaHa I think it'll be spring before times. But I should just drive it to a warm state and get a pass in. I've been working on this project for so long.

Thanks. Hopefully it runs as good as it looks. I'm expecting big numbers out of it.
