Checked My Pushrod Length

Ok I checked my pushrod length today and came up with 6.95" My block has been decked (.010 I think) and my heads have been milled a couple times, does that sound right for the length? I've got Comp R lifters and Pro Mags if it makes any difference. I was using the stock length pushrods because I forgot about the heads being milled and I didn't think that having the block decked would make that much difference, but I guess it does. I used this method HERE to check for the proper length with a sharpie and got it right on the first try. I'm going to go out and do it again just to make sure I got it right, but does a 6.95 pushrod sound right? I have read of some guys needing a 6.9" or 7" so I'm probably not that far off.

But I guess thats all, and when your putting a motor together be sure to check for proper length pushrods and don't assume anything Hopefully I can have my new set overnighted so they will be here tomorrow and try to get my car running better.

But I have a set of 7.2" Chromoly 5/16 .83 wall pushrods for sale They only have about 50 miles on them, PM me if your interested

Now no one has these in stock. Anyone know where I can get a 6.95" pushrod besides manely? I was hoping to order them today and have them overnighted so they would be here tomorrow, but it looks like I'm going to have to wait until sometime next month to get them.
