Default valvetrain question (pushrods)

making several changes, and i don't think it will affect the length, but just checking.

the block was decked .017 on the rebuild last spring, i ran stock pushrods with out any trouble on stock rockers.

this time around, the block isn't having anymore work up there, and i'm retaining my 1.5 rocker ratio. but i'm switching to a set of afr heads, which are supppose to have thicker decks ect...

so just throwing that out there, all opinions welcome.
also need a part number for hardend pushrods the appropriate length from either comp or lunati.

thanks
jeff

Too many variables affecting that, if you call any of the cam manufacturers for recommendation they would tell you to check it with a pushrod length checker. They'll also say that the pushrod shoul be the last part you order for your motor when everything is properly setup and length measured
Chanses are that the stock length pushrods will be fine, but there's no way to tell with checking the geometery and contact paterns.
