AFR's and Pushrods?

[$uperstang]

Ok so am in the final stages of my motor build and put in a stock pushrod which I beleive is 6.272" and it its just a tad too short just barely though. I am getting hardened pushrods and want to know if there is anyone out there running 185 AFR's and what size pushrods you guys are using? My block (stock 302) has been zero decked and I am using FelPro 1011-2 gaskets. AFR's manual suggests standard pushrods or +.100?

+0.100" sounds right (not that I have AFR's)

you gotta measure with an adjustable pushrod everytime to find the correct wear pattern on the valve stem, then order the pushrods. Dont guess at it, or you take a major risk f'g up your valve guides

I know I just figured I would check to see with anyone else with this set up because they all have to be somewhat close, The heads are brand new!
