Hey guys, I am about to start my afr 165's, trickflow street heat, stud mount 1.7 rockers and 70mm TB install and a have a question. With the stud mound rockers, what size push rods will I need, I am leaving the bottom end stock and also leaving the stock cam in place, can I reuse the stock push rods?

No, you need hardened pushrods because of the guide plates.

You'll have to measure for yourself, get a little 15 dollar pushrod length checker. No one can tell you what length pushrod you need for motor.
