What length push rods do I need ????

[sgt.scared]

I am building a 1991 5.0 with Trick Flow Twisted Wedge® 170 Cylinder heads with 1.72 roller rockers, E303 roller cam and roller lifters and a trick flow street burner intake and BBK Ceramic 1 5/8 full length exhaust headers and 24 pound injectors.
I know that the E303 cam was meant to be used with 1.6 rockers. What length push rods do I need or will stock work just fine?
What hp and torque should i be seeing??

you need a solid lifter or a modified stock lifter, an adjustable pushrod and some patience to measure out your exact pushrod length. You could throw a stock pushrod in and see what kinda of pattern it leaves on the valve stem tip....it maybe the right length??

i got a welded up old roller lifter and am getting a push rod leagth check soon.
also i know that i will need harden pushrods because of the pushrod guides.

Sounds to me like you just need stock replacement pushrods! Install them and make sure you check that the roller rockers, are smacked dab in the middle of the top of the valve stem
