Pushrod length
Does anyone know the stock pushrod length for a 1995 351?
Engine's got over 125K miles, and want to replace them, but I've found 3 different lengths from different auto parts places. Really frustrating...

Okay, just found out stock pushrod lengths.
Roller engines = 7.54"
Flat tappet = 8.15-8.20"
So, being as my engine is a 1995, and casting numbers are F4TE, does this mean I have a roller cam or just that my engine is roller compatable?

It would seem that you can measure your pushrods and that will tell you if the motor has a roller cam or not. The next harder way is to pull the distributor out to see if it has a cast iron gear (flat tappet cam) or steel gear (roller cam).
