If we're building a racing engine that's going to produce three times the designed horsepower and maybe last half a dozen passes down the drag strip or 500 laps around a dirt track before it hand grenades, it's a little different than doing a restoration of a stovebolt that might get driven a thousand miles a year or less. Comp Cams actually has "cut-to-length" tubular pushrods with a wide assortment of ends that are pressed into place if a specific length is really needed, but I've never bothered to do that on a street engine.
