Default push rods with ls7 lifters

I'm rebuilding a 6.0l and I'm going to be running ls7 lifters and thinking about running the stock head gaskets(new) what length push rods do i need? i know the best way is to measure but i would think since the ls7 are now the replacement lifters it should be standard?

is there a difference between stock head gaskets? its a stock bore lq9 317 heads.

thanks

They would only change prods if they are bent or wrong size. LS7 lifters are a bit taller at the cup than standard LS1 lifters and we have seen them requiring slightly shorter pushrods.
Is your motor cammed? and the best way to find out is still measure.
