I've done a search and its conflicting, some say as long as you have hardened then thats fine, others are saying larger OD means more stability, I dont know what OD these AFR's will take, I will ask AFR to be sure.
Are all brands equal? I dont mind spending a little more if it yields results..
"Pushrods - Different length pushrods might be required, always check pushrod length. Check pushrod clearance with heads placed on the block before final assembly. Larger pushrods will not fit without clearancing and is not recommended since some areas are very thin. AFR recommends the use of .120" thick-wall pushrods"

Manton or Trend are excellent choices. I wasnt aware cam motion offered such a custom selection of pushrods. Looks awesome. I do love me some Cam Motion.
I usually buy the trend dual taper. They usually ship the next day even if they have to custom make them. I went with 7/16” on my latest build. Doubt those will fit your application tho lol.
