length of original equip. push rods in Rover V8?

I believe that the valve train push rods in all versions of the Rover V8 are the same length and same diameter. Also, I think that they are the same length and diameter as they were in the original Buick 215 V8, prior to Rover buying rights to it. DOES ANYONE KNOW FOR CERTAIN EXACTLY WHAT THE LENGTH OF THESE PUSH RODS IS?

jfall, Actually, I am working to modify the rocker arm assembly to use roller rockers on a stud plate, rather than the OEM non roller rockers on shaft, so I will, for one thing, need to know the length of the OEM push rods, but it looks like nobody on this site knows length. I have yet to take mine out, and I can' t seem to find length specs. anywhere, but I will keep looking.
