Stock pushrod length- 9.130". It has been published that if using Chevy lifters, the pushrod length is 9.290” as a starting point. However, caution must be used if Chevy lifters are going to be tried in a Pontiac engine because the oil band is in a different location. This could effect oiling. There are aftermarket lifters advertised for use in both Chevy and Pontiac engines. These should also be checked but the assumption is that the oil band is correctly located for both applications. | Stock pushrod length- 9.130".

Miller uses a MID-LIFT G-TooL to measure for geometry. It is quite different from the other devices on the market, like from Comp Cams and others that are used to estimate pushrod length. | Miller uses a MID-LIFT G-TooL to measure for geometry.
