what length rods do i need?

[Chickensoup]

hello, off of experience could anyone tell me what the best push rod size for my engine combo. im trying not to have to buy a adjustable push rod tool.

1776,
-c35 cam
-elephant feet on scat solid shafts
-i havnt got my heads flycut yet but im aiming for around 8.5-1 cr.

yes, i know it will be hard to tell me without deck height and flycut measurements but will stock length ones work or should i return to this post once ive got the short block assembled?

thanks

You can make an adjustable pushrod from an old stock one. Just need to cut the old one and tap it and add some threaded rod and a nut.

Best to spend the $24 than to guess.

Absolutely no way of knowing. You need the tool and a mag base dial indicator.

All good advice and it's what I expected to hear although now that you've mentioned the diy push rod tool, where can I find directions on how to make em?

Thanks
