I'm running a simular comp custom grind on an xer lob in my car. Im using a 7.425 length pushrod with factory heads and gskt's. I went with the longer PR to quiet down the lifters. You can hear them ,but deffinantly not as loud as they where with the factory stuff. The factory length at 7.40 may work for you if you using factory head gskt's.
