not sure what base circles are but i dunno why you'd have to change pushrods. I know when i bought a cam i didn't have to use different lenth pushrods and my cam is much larger than the 01 ls6 cam. You should just be able to use the stock 7.4's.

I searched and found it is 19mm vs 19.7mm. I don't know if that is true or not.
