I beleive the length is 7.200". You can check ebay for some deals, they usually have some good prices on that stuff. check out Comp 7940-16 and 7608-16.

Are you changing the lifters as well? Best way to determine pushrod length is to get a tool that measures so you can get the correct size. As far as pushrods go, I would def go with the Trickflows.

Anytime I change stuff out I always like to put fresh stuff back in. That's just me though. The LS7 lifters would be a good upgrade and they are fairly inexpensive too. $110-125 dollar range.
