A 347 has a bore of .30 over but to not bore and stroke it would be a 342 and a 331 a 327 or something, i think push rods would be same length

RE: need help with pushrod length

saleen, stock length *should* work, its a good place to start. if you really wanna know you need a length checker, which looks like a pushrod but its adjustable. summit has them for less than 20 bucks i believe. even if stock length works, you'll NEED hardened pushrods to work with the guideplates on those AFR heads.
