Push rods?
We are pretty simple minded. I mean any retard would know what length you need. I mean its not like silly things such as deck height, head gaskets thickness, having the heads milled, etc have ANYTHING to do with it.
In short: there is no answer to your question because there are still unkown variables. And even when you gave all the variables we STILL can't tell you. You need to measure.
Get yourself a pushed length tool, and research how to properly do it.

you'll need a length checker for that. use either an adjustable pushrod or a type of length checker that fits over your stud. either is fine.
simple minded? that hurt dude, really hurt.

If you were on an original motor with stock untouched heads that's never been apart on stock lifters, you would use 7.20" pushrods. But since you're not, no one can tell you exactly what length you need, because all that cool stuff Gregrob just posted needs to be considered. Get a pushrod length checker.

check out manley part number 42133. the are pretty slick. not sure if they work on ls engines. pretty sure they do though. summit, jegs, anyone should have them really. this is an alternative to an adjustable pushrod. though those are great too.
I would recommend picking up a Comp Cams tool. The cheap ones have been known to bend during cranking due to higher spring pressures.
EDIT: Or use lower pressure length-checking springs.
