I will have a 302 with edelbrock heads,roller cam and crane gold roller rockers and was wondering what length push rods i need. I have a almost brand new set from my 289 but it had a flat tappet cam, so these won't work.

I just checked with edelbrock and they say 6.400 instead of the 6.805 I have for my 289 flat tappet.

The only way to get it RIGHT is to use an adjustable pushrod length checker.

Called edelbrock tech support and they said the 6.400 was for their retrofit lifters and a reduced base circle. The tech guy said the stock length was the ones to use just hardened.
