This is with the stock push rods. Looks a little long, but I wouldn't really know. Next one down, that I could find, is 6.2. Seems like this could be the answer. Stock from what I understand is 6.25.

I've got one, but am not sure if what I'm seeing with stock is too long or close enough.

Not close enough, should be centered.as.close as possible or you will wear your valve guides faster. Can't tell from the pic, what side is facing the exhaust?
