yes, stock is 6.250".

make sure you not only measure the pushrod length, but look at the rollers tip sweep on the valve tip. it needs to be centered otherwise you will snap rocker studs. if push comes to shove, shorter is better than longer if you for some reason cant get the right length. also, you need hardened pushrods for guideplates (if you have stud rockers).
