I wouldn't use stock push rods in an engine with a cam and stiff springs. It will surely bend before you know it.
Trick flow will sell you a single push rod. Ask me how I know.

i know right... found out that they are all 7.4... i just new the ls6 cam had a small base circle and was curious about the ls2 as well.. but its the valves that are different lengths, not the pushrods... but its a temporary fix for now.. car was bought this way and bought CHEAP/partial trade...

Temporary or not, that is the wrong fix. For starter aftermarket 7.400 pushrods are not the same length as stock OEM pushrods. Stockers are a bit shorter 7.38x. As mentioned above, stockers will flex too much and could result in further damage to the engine.
