Default pushrod length

Hi, Im going to be installing a cam soon and I think I should be using stock length pushrods...

The cam is a Cam Motions Custom Ground Camshaft
208/219 duration
.539/.541 lift
114 Lobe seperation

Crane Gold 1.6 Ratio Aluminum Self Aligning Roller Rockers
Comp Cams 918 Valve Springs with Matching Comp Retainers and Locks
GM Ls7 Lifters

With that setup will I use stock length or will any of the above effect the length?

I was told it would only change if the base circle of the cam was different or if I had the heads milled....

you should check for length, the ls7 lifters have a deeper pocket in them, the only way to know exactly what length you need is check. most likely you will just need 7.200's but i always check.
