Default pushrod length

I am buying new heads and converting to a roller camshaft on a Chrysler 440. What is the best method for measuring required pushrod length?

http://440source.com/camlifters.htm p# 200-1088

Note that the rocker arms have some adjustment in them. Is there some type of spacing tool availible?

Default The accurate way

Is to insert a lifter which you intend to use, and the rocker arm you intend to use, and borrow or buy an adjustable push rod. Follow the builder's instructions from there.

simple enough... any good sources for custom made rods? and any other suggestions in their purchase?

ask 440source, they should have the adjustable pushrod and they can get you the correct length pushrods from there.
