Were the heads milled??? If not or only .005" mill, then you need 7.400" pushrods.

It all depends on you base cam cirle and how much your heads are milled.
Best way is to use a p-rod micrometer.

It is about $20

All of the aftermarket cams I have seen have a .030 smaller base circle. I am sure there is an exception some where though.

That all depends on the lifts so no different lift cams have the same base circle.
