Chances are you will need shorter ones. Best thing to do is get a push rod length check tool and measure what you will need then order.

With a 59cc 5.3L head you'd be close to being able to use a 7.400" pushrod in some cases...but for an LS6 head milled to 59cc, I'd bet you'll need closer to 7.350". Like stated above, the only way to do it right, is to check it with the proper tool.
