I use Smith Brothers pushrods. They will sell to you also. Tell them I sent you.

With the combination of:
Different rocker arm
New cam
block decked
Head cut
Head rebuilt with all new parts

It stands to reason, stock pushrod length is too short. 10" does not sound out of line to me. Each engine is different. Your pics look like the roller is centered.

All my engines use longer than stock pushrods. Heck, the 292 pushrods are getting close to 12".

Good job.
