that depends on your cam if it has a smaller base circle, and what lifters your running.

i had an MS4 cam with LS7 lifters, .040 gasket and 58cc chambers on 5.3 heads, and i ran the .350's, but i want to say that was wrong because the engine never made the power it should have, and everything else in that motor was dead nuts on. instead of correcting it, i decided to build a 408.

I measured mine and the 7.350 was the closest match. I would think your setup would require the same, but it's always best to measure.

You should always measure. A pushrod length checker is cheap.
