Default 360 pushrods

OK guys I need a little help
I finished my 360 build, however I have a concern before I install & light it off.
My heads are 1990 non magnums, my lifters are stock flat tappets for an 87-360. The cam is 441 lift.

Finally the question.. Are the pushrods the same size from 1990 to 1987 ?

The heads fit perfectly and the only differences I can see is the pushrod holes are smaller and seem to line up better to the lifters.

Please help if you can

Dave

Default push rod quandry

usdart;

According to the mopar engine manual length is not critical, with stamper rocker arms as long as the lifter plunger has room for adjustment. Basically the plunger in the lifter should not be bottomed in the lifter or push rod loose. So long as lifter s plunger is depressed some you'll be fine. Looking at a PAW catalog length is listed as (68-86) 7.160 for 340/360 hyd cam/ adj RA. (64-91) 7.513 for 273/318/340/360 save for (86-89) 4BBl carb. hope this helps some.
