long story short. 96 lt1 hotcam .026 gasket stock head no machining.
Heres my mark. this is with stock pushrods. Do I need 7.150 or would they be too short? really though

Roller rockers? If so, I'd run it.
Big cams usually sweep out at least that far.

I would get myself an adjustable pushrod checker and a dummy spring for the valve. read the instructions and test afew different combos out. I ended up running stock length pushrods (7.200") for my setup. 1.6 full rollers, LS7 roller lifters .026" gaskets and .010" milled heads. Lines almost perfect. Its important to get it as good as possible. If thats as good as you can get it after you check it then leave it. BTW if the line favors the exhaust side alittle bit thats more preferred
