RE: 390 FE .060" short pushrod needed

You can order custom length pushrods in any configuration (ball and ball, ball and cup, chromolly, 1010 steel, hollow, solid...) from one of the catalog (Jeg's or Summit) if you know the length you need...HOWEVER (and you probably saw this coming) you have a problem that's begging for a diagnosis. If everthing else in your valve train is the same, either all of the valves would be held open or they all work as advertised. To have an anomaly on one cylinder says something is going on that needs to be fixed and you need to discover what is causing that one valve to hang open.

Things to consider:
- siezed lifter plunger
- siezed valve
- wrong valve installed height
- wrong size valve installed

I'm not busting your chops on this but this really isn't the kind of problem you want to address through the pushrod change on just one valve. A pushrod change may or may not give you a solution but you still won't be addressing the problem...what's causing it.
This thread, so far...
