Do yourself a favor and get a pushrod length checker and figure out what length you need.
Those are stock length and I have had to use longer than stock in my motors to get correct lift. Depending on the length of your valves and how your heads are prepped they could need to be significantly longer than stock.
Also if you are using a mechanical lifter to check instead of a shimmed up hydraulic the pushrod seat may be deeper in the lifter. It’s VERY important that your checking lifter and the ones you run measure the same. If they don’t your lift will not be the same.
