Default what size PR's with MS3/PRC 5.3s

ok i tried a search but really didnt get anywhere. I know there are a few people running the MS3 with PRC 5.3.s stg 2.5 and was wondering what size pushrods does everyone use? would the standard 7.4 length work?
just trying to think of all the valvetrain components i'll need before i do the swap.

IMHO.....

Spend the 20 bucks and get a pushrod length checker. That way you can get the right pushrods for your particular application, and set the correct lifter preload.

20 more dollars on top of a head/cam upgrade is nothing.....

TSP told me to run the 7.4s, so that's what I have with mine.

yeah i mean i probably will get a pushrod length checker but just wanted to see what others have. I know some people have this head/cam package so just wanted to see what size they have on theirs. I just figured if the combustion chamber is different on the 5.3s that the PR's would be a different length?
