Default Pushrod length? Someone surely has this setup

I have Morel lifters, G5x3 cam, non-milled heads, 6.0l head gasket .051. Stock style rocker arms. So what length pushrod will I need to get for a .030-.045 preload?

Well measure the base circle of the cam and I'll do a calculation for ya.
But a p-rod checker will be the easiest way.
I would take a guess at either 7.350 or 7.375
