The standard pushrod is C2OZ6565B which is 6.804=E2=80=9D in length. These =
are
available from Rock Auto, eBay or other common parts dealers, Melling makes
them as well (MPR-279).

However I NEVER assemble an engine without measuring for true pushrod
length. Unless you know everything about the engine internals I would
strongly suggest you check it using a variable length pushrod tool

I have a 289 push rod in front of me, same part #, it is 6.825=E2=80=9D.

Ron,
I do not know where that number comes from. They were always 6.804=E2=80=9D=
 before
rail rockers (slot in heads) and went to 6.876=E2=80=9D when the rail rocke=
rs were
introduced (round pushrod holes).

There are several aftermarket pushrods, I buy Melling MPR-279, they are the
direct replacement for the C2OZ-6565-B and listed as 6.804=E2=80=9D length.

If forced, I will get off my fat arse and measure a few out in the shop.
