push rod length 5.7L roller cam

[carlos515]

Well I went with the Vortec heads as suggested. They are Jegs cast iron. Now I checked my piston to valve clearance along with the push rod length with my adjustable push rod.
Now I had Moroso valve checking springs in with my hydraulic roller lifters.
I was going with 7.205 push rods.
Deck .017
Stock heads
OEM cam and lifters
Melling 1.5:1 rockers ,stock stamped steel , self aligning
FelPro 17030 head gasket
Sound about right?

I realize there are lots of variables to weigh in for comments. I had a hard time seeing the marks on the valve ends that I coated with a black sharpie. They looked to be in the center of the stem. I checked the valve to piston clearance with modeling clay . I did not have the original push rods thus the question. Basically it is a stock block with flat top pistons.
