Are you sure about your pushrods?

Just a tidbit I didn't see mentioned, 360 pushrods are longer than 318 pushrods.......

these are the very same pushrods that came out . this was the only engine apart at the time

Smallblock seat height was 1.88 Big block was 1.91. Which still doesn't solve your dilemma, because it's less than the BB. Did you happen to notice any slop before you pulled it apart? I ask because you never know what someone did before, like shorter pushrods etc.

Here is what I am looking at.

the car the engine came out of was an original owner 33,000 mile doba owned by some old people that had all the maintenance records that had been hit in the back. there was nothing other than oil changes and tire stuff done to it. 1.88 verses 1.91 is not much difference.
