No, far too short for a pre-95 3800.

just out of curiosity, why do you want a new set of pushrods anyways? Are your'* bent or something?

they're probably stronger and maybe even a bit more restrictive than stock (to prevent valve float)

Well, a lighter pushrod would have less inertia, and therefore would be more easily pushed back down by the valve spring. But yeah, I don't think it would make that much of a difference.

mainly for applications with upgraded roller rockers (which the thread creater said he was going to do)

hopefully do. I thought if the pustrods were the right size they were a tad longer for more valve travel
