I tried a search buy could not find a setup that utilized the stock cam.

Here's my setup:
Stock short block and cam
GT40P heads
1.72 roller rockers
I do not have a pushrod length measuring tool and wanted to see if anyone knew what size I need to order?

I could be wrong, but I don't think you'll have a problem with stock push rods with this combo. But, if you want to check everything, you will need the adjustable push rod and the instructions I provided in this thread the other day:

You'll be fine with stock length pushrods and the stock cam with 1.7 RR.

Thanks guys, hopefully if the rain holds off I can get the heads bolted on on Sunday and can check and see if the stock ones work.

Yup, as long as the cam is stock your good with standard length. I did the same setup and did not even have to shim anything to get the proper adjustment on the valves. You'll like the setup if your looking for a mild mannered street car. You won't hear the cam, but you will feel good gains in power. I topped it off with a edelbrock rpm intake, 70 mm tb, 76 mm maf and bbk shorties.
