Valvesprings will depend on the lift of the cam. You will most likely be good with a set of PRC or Patriot springs and a set of Comp or TFS chromemoly pushrods.

Agreed. It depends on the max lift of the cam. You want a spring rating to be a little over the cams maximum lift rating.

since you have different heads also your pushrod length is harder to guess. It may still be 7.425 or 7.4 if they have a factory gasket and have not been milled but it would be best to measure and be sure.

For springs, its up to you depending on the lift and the lobe/ramp rate of that cam.

PRC springs will work great. You should be ok with 7.4" pushrods, but I emphasize should. Use an adjustable pushrod and a test spring to measure your actual required pushrod length.

What he said

You should check since they typically use a smaller base circle so you can install the cam it might be longer than 7.4" but you would need to check and measure preload, there are various methods but the easiest is getting an adjustable pushrod and checking the length. I use the other way but it is not the most reliable.
