If you are using stock heads, same ratio rockers, and stock cam, then the stock push rods will work OK, as the hydraulic lifters will pump up to get the push rods to the proper position. However, if you made changes, especially if you installed a reground cam, you will need longer push rods to make up for the smaller base circle of the cam, and use the procedure described by craby to get the proper length.
