302 with D0OE(351)heads probably gonna just use stamped steal rockers, what do i do for push rods, i see that a few companies make adjustable ones to get the correct measurement but im just seeing if any one knows the answer so i don't have to **** around with a whole bunch of shit.

Nobody will know the answer, there are too many variables, heads milled, deck height, valve length, gasket thickness, etc. The proper way to do it is buy an adjustable pushrod and measure.

I ran stock push rods on my 302/D0OE combo.

I hope you know that the stock rockers don't just bolt on.

You would use a 302-ish length pushrod since you are using an 8.2 block.

I used a roller 302 block so I used stock roller 302 push rods. I used stock stamped steel rockers.

You have to pull out the old stock rocker studs and put in these threaded inserts in if you want to run stock type pedestal mount rockers.
