if you go with an adjustable rocker like you were thinking of in your other post earlier & if you actually know what camshaft you have & what style/size diam. of base circle {actual size/diameter of the lower part of the camshaft lobes @ 0.00" lift at the bottom/base} it actually has & what length & style of push rod you actually need, generally they are 3/8" for aftermarket performance camshafts, material they are made of, what valve springs you will be using/the open & closed installed heights & valve spring pressures & usually have a 5/16" ball & cup for the adjustable rocker combo's... unless you go with something out of the norm... about $10 a piece ball park + shipping, get them in a couple days... your head gasket thickness or how much a block & set of heads have been shaved milled or decked/machined off, can change you push rod length even... I'd call or check out Smith Brothers Push Rods Tech line; 1-541-388-8188 or @ www.pushrods.net/pshrods.html check out & read some of the website introduction & check out the adjusters etc. then call them, before you order, great guys/gals there know their stuff... they can vary in lengths it needs to be checked from all over the park, 9.00" to 9.030" to 9.130" to 9.230" to 9.40" for a RB 413-426w-440 engine etc.
