Spend $20, buy an adjustable pushrod and measure. That way you know for sure.

Im sure you will be just fine with a 7.4 hardened. If you just want to know then measure but most of the time a 7.4 will work just fine.

Im running 7.4's with the same heads. the Patriot heads have not been milled. You can run the stock pushrod length. If your looking for a good set of pushrods on a budget then get the trick flow's. Theyre 5/16 chromemoly with a .080 wall. You can pick them up for like 87 dollars plus shipping.

yeah, I agree with everyone else and you should be okay with 7.400. Doesn't hurt to verify though.
