Or just try out your current pushrod and make sure it's the right length, if not, get different ones.

Re: 6.0L Heads milled .038, shorter pushrods? You should just buy a bigger cam and then we can measure the base circle on it. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> As long as the base circle is .06 smaller than stock the 7.4's should be fine. The cam really wouldn't be a lot more work than just the heads.
