The pushrods are measuring at 10 9/16"(10.56") but I can't find replacements at that length with ball and cup ends. Patricks sells Mellings that measure 11.108". .5" is a big difference that I'm assuming the rocker arm adjustment won't compensate for. Summit does sell another Melling
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mel-mpr-79/overview/, that measures 10.513". Is that close enough, or does it have do be exact? The ball ends are different from the originals ones though. I guessing that is what Dragsix was talking about. Anyone else have input on this? I'm steering in the direction of reusing the old rods. I don't plan on really pushing the engine at all. Just driving it every now and then around town.
