> Have fun installing that oil pump! Lifters are not being replaced, you mean pushrods. If you aren’t changing the heads, calculating pushrod length is pretty easy without a checker. The cam is the only variable in this case, so in order to keep the geometry close to stock you need to know the base circle of the new cam. 95% of cam only installations will use a 7.4" pushrod.

sorry pushrods.
