Default Pushrod length?

I have an LQ9 built into a 408 it will have stock 317 heads on it and factory rockers. If it matters the cam is 23x 24x /.62x and .63x. I will have a stock thickness gasket also.

Can anyone tell me what length pushrod I will need or do I have to assemble it then check length?

Seems like they are only $20. The pushrods should be in the 7" area. So this will work?
