Default Pushrod length question

Hey guys I will soon be putting my Z06 back together and was wondering if you guys could recomend the correct length of pushrod that will be required. The Car is 02 Z06 with a pair of FFHP 5.3 heads milled .015 thou,Cometic .040 gaskets and either a F13,F14 or TSP 233/239, MS3 camshaft. I'm sticking with the stock rockers and the valve lengths are stock according to Brad. FWIW the base circles of my 02 Z06 cam should be approx the same as these aftermarket cams( they used longer valves in the 02 LS6 heads) and the stock pushrods were 7.395 as measured end to end. Thanks guys!

7.4, not enough millwork to warrant smaller ones.

Yeah, you will probally have to get a pushrod length checker to get the right height. It is an adjustable pushrod with goes up and down. Once you get the valve tip to rocker angle right. Lock it in place and take it to your local performance store. They should be able to get you the right length pushrods.
