If you stand them up together on end the Chrome Moly Pushrods are a little longer than the factory LS1 Pushrods. Is this normal or did they send me the wrong Pushrods?

Stock pushrods are not 7.400 from what I remember. I think they were about 7.380".
Anyway, 7.400 is considered the closest to the stock length since most mfg's build pushrods in increments of 50 thousanths of an inch. If you are installing a new cam, it'll have a smaller basecircle anyway so it is nothing to worry about.

Well, if you have stock heads and cam, then 7.400 will still be fine. If you have 30 thousanths milled heads and stock cam, you'll want 7.350 pushrods.
