Does anyone know the factory pushrod length for PCMs 351 for years '79/'80? Engine came out of an 80, but the casting has it as being a 79 |

here's an old thread with some familiar names, your 79,80 pushrods are the same as the 85 pushrods  http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50653&title=advice-on-heads-installation" rel="nofollow - link
You should have stamped steel rockers like in the picture below, so it's 8.185 for the standard pushrods https://ibb.co/TWCg111" rel="nofollow">  But with your engine at a machine shop and machining being done you may need shims or shorter pushrods. Let the machine shop tell you |
