I am doing the same. I cut my push rod down to about 1/2 the original length. I took a barrel nut or all thread nut 3/18-16 drilled a small portion of it to allow it to slip on to the rod. Welded it in place and took some all thread crowned one end and cut so that the smallest length is 5-3/8". So I can adjust it out or cut it smaller if needed. I have heard you need about 5-5/8" in length from center to end. Mine can be adjusted to about 6" but i hope i don't need to go that far.

Also Speedway Motors sells an adjustable rod for $10 if you are not diy person.
