Default Pushrod question

Do the 72 cc and the 87 cc E heads take the same length pushrod?

Yes they take the same lenght push Rods,it just the lenght of there respective valves that are different due to the difference in the depth of there chambers.

Valve stem height affects pushrod length. I know delivered from Edelbrock their RPM heads use different length valves for the different chamber design to keep the rated installed height at 1.800" on both.
