Default ls6 heads cam install need help on preload!!

well i got a stock ls6 01 motor stock right now. im going to install prc springs with a 660lift rate. using a torquer v2 cam 595. 598. lift 114. milled heads by .020 or give it a new surface. Using stock new ls6 valves. using stocker lifters and stock head gaskets. Porting the heads too. im just confused on what size of push rods i would be needing. If someone can please help me out i would appreciate it. Using brand new ls7 lifters too. it says they have .80 preload on the lifters.

can someone help understand how to determine the rod length please thanks

You really should get a pushrod checker and measure. They are only about $20
