429/460 pushrods

Ok 385 gurus. I have a '76 Lincoln 460 that I am getting ready to put C9VE-A heads on. Can I use the pushrods from the 460? I know the deck height of the 460 is taller that the '69 429 the heads came from.

The only way to know for sure what length you need is to get a push rod length checker and see. If you have a hydro cam don't forget to add the preload figure to the length you come up with.
