Default can I use stock pushrods?

I want to install my heads this weekend and forgot about p-rods. Head porte said 7.400 is correct, but do or should I get new ones or can I reuse stockers. It is an auto car.

Can you? yes. Should you? no.

You can REALLY mess up your motor if they bend and jack up a valve. Will this happen? Prob not. But all I can say is using is not the best idea... I would just wait a few hours or days and the right ones. Like the "trick flows" or thier equivalent.
