I just went through this and we ended up a little less than 1.75 turns (about 1 2/3). It is nice and quiet with this setup.
My setup used 7.375 pushrods. I tried 7.400 and they ended up with 2.25 turns to full tq. 7.350 would have put me right on 1 full turn. I was told better to be slightly on the high side then on the low side.
Worked for me..... Good Luck!!!
