Exclamation stock push rod length.....

I am rebuilding a 460 for my bronco that came out of a 77 lincoln mark V ... i along want to put roller rockers a cam and all that fun stuff into it... (.495 cam) I need to know wat size push rod to use... i read that it is 8.550 but read down more and they are all different lengths.. before i go buying some of the ARP push rods and roller rocker studs... I have D0V3 stock cast iron heads that ima use. so how long do i need? im not much of a fan of the adjustable push rods...

You'll have to assemble the engine then measure for proper pushrod length. Sometimes the intake and exhaust will be different lengths for you to obtain "optimum" valve train geometry.
