What range adjustable pushrod do I need? On Summit I see:
7.5 to 8.7 inch
6.125 to 7.5 inch
7.8 to 8.8 inch.... any recommendations?

   A  Good point Julian. The last stroker they put in a Pantera was 4-5
   years
   A  ago now and is in Oriol's car (don't know if you met him - I don't
   A  remember who attended which years of LMC sometimes). They also did
   A  another Cleveland about the same time for another Pantera, and
   Oriol's
   A  GT40 is running well and gets regular use. But they are far from
   A  experts in the Cleveland.A
   A  At some point you take a decision - you either go ahead selecting a
   A  shop based on some references or you don't... the oil leak has been
   10
   A  years now so I wanted to fix it while the car is sitting. But the
   shop
   A  definitely needs a helping hand and I have my fingers crossed....

   A  Hi all
   A  My motor is apart to fix an oil leak by changing the cam, installing
   a
   A  stroker crank, new pistons, con-rods etc. I sure hope this fixes the
   A  oil
   A  leak! The shop doing the work doesn't have a gauge-thing to measure
   the
   A  desired pushrod length, and I shouldn't re-use the old ones as I now
   A  have
   A  hydraulic roller lifters instead of solid lifters, a different cam,
   A  etc. Is
   A  there any way to calculate correct pushrod length without this
   little
   A  tool?
   A  Any suggestions? The shop is located in Spain and has assembled
   other
   A  American V-8s if all the parts are provided.

   A  Thank you!
