Default Dumb Question

I was trying to figure out where i could get some 1.7 pushrods if i end up having to get some. I was at work and measured some that are for my 94 5.0 they were like 6 and 1/4 inches and ones for the 3.8 v6 were 7 and 1/4 inches long. Could i use those pushrods? Basically how long are pushrods for 1.7 rockers i was assuming 7 or 7 and a 1/4.

You think that an inch isn't significant!?

Get a push rod length checker... That's the only way you will know for sure or if someone has the EXACT same setup as you and they know off the top of thier head...

My stock pushrods with 1.7 rockers are about 6.25" possibly slightly less.

That doesnt make sense because thats the length of my pushrodsand its only a 94 gt, unless it has 1.7 standard rockers. Which i doubt.

Onyx is right. They are about 6.25, and the same length as the ones used in a stock 94 gt, even though i think stock they use 1.5s. I have the factory length pushrods in my engine right now with the crane 1.7s.
