What pushrods should I use?

I have a 94 z28 and I am changing to 1.6 rr. I think with the mileage that I have on the motor I should change the push rods. What should I go with? What length, size?

The length should be 7.200 and you can really use any brand thats hardened. I like the Trickflows myself.

The price was $36.95. Was that for a set of 16?

I'm running OE Replacement Pushrods from Autozone. I figure that if I have an issue and the pushrods end up bending, I'd rather them bend than let the force go further into the engine (broken valve or lifter).

It's much easier to replace a bent pushrod than a broken valve or lifter.

My OE Replacement set was a little more than $40 for the set of 16.
