you should be able to use stock length pushrods becuase an f-cam has the same base circle size and your stock cam..

+1 +1 and +1 one more time.

Can't stress this enough whether it be valve to piston clearance or pushrod length. You just don't know if the heads have been milled or if anything else has been done that will affect the clearance.

so if he has a stock cam in it and if the heads/block were milled or valve seats reground, then it would prob have different length pushrods or rocker shims to start with.. but yes it is best to check..+1

lol... Kinda got a point there. But mustanks right. The combo you want has been done one trillion times... but oddly enough some people have different results.
