Le1 heads and .026" head gasket what size push rod

I am wondering what size push rod I should run with my le1 heads with ls7 lifters and the 0.026" head gasket; or do I need to measure the length?

You need to measure with a pushrod length checker. Every application is different so id be safe and measure

O.k I am going to go ahead and buy 1 lifter to turn it into a solid lifter and the comp push rod checker; I just need to sop being lazy and do it the correct way.

You really should measure to get the geometry right.
I ran 7.150" with my LE2s and a .026" gasket, but I had stock replacement lifters.
