standard 390 pushrod length?

Was wondering what the standard 390 pushrod length was and then the length of the .060 longer pushrod and the .060 shorter pushrod.

Well, I don't have any reference stuff here but since you're been waiting so patiently how about a guess at something like 9.59" or so, it sounds familiar.

Anybody else?

I believe ford made a few different lenght pushrods for the non adjustable rockers, I believe the standard lenght was 9.620, but they also made a 9.590, 9.560,9.770 lenght pushrods. I lenght this lesson very well when I installed a taller lift cam and use 9.620 lenght pushrods and burnt up my cam. I did not find out tell after I did this and pulled of my heads to find out my heads had ben milled .010 so be very careful when buying push rods when using non-adjustable rockers!!

If you need a set of .060 over rods, I have a brand new set of Smith Bros. pushrods to move.
