if you mill the heads .020 what kind of pushrods are required? will the stock 7.40" still work?

about 10.5:1 (10.48:1) Your going to take out about 4cc's from the chamber. Are you chaning anythin else like rods, pistions, bore or stroke. If you do then it will be different.

Yes,

In fact if the bas circle on your cam is smaller then you will be right where you where.

The hydraulic lifter will allow for the difference, up to around .050 then you would just go to a different pushrod.
