every motor is different. have youre heads been decked? are you running head gaskets etc?

You can buy cut to length CroMoly pushrods and cut them to the stock length. If you're making pushrods you might as well make custom length ones. But stock will work just fine. Buy the cut to length rods, pull out a stock one, measure, cut, install.

Ok
2 questions then

how long are stock so I can order adjustable one and do it right?

How do you cut them accurately? just a tubing cutter or do you use a lathe?

I used a lathe, but I am sure that I was being anal.
