I presume you milled the heads .045". If so, 7.350" pushrods are what you need. However, you may find that the rocker arms still line up very well without shortened pushrods.

Factory length is 7.400".

LS7 hydraulic roller lifters will not change the pushrod length.

no, .695 seems WAY too short, i think 7.35 at shortest, but like gregory said, stock 7.4's may still work

yeah I forgot to add a zero in the equation haha, Thanks for the help. I will check the spring load with a dial indicator after I get the lifters loaded to be sure.
