I have the same cam and have Thunder Racing 7.4" pushrods. Any 7.4s will work.

i thought you would have to use 7.35" if you had your heads milled any more than .020" Im pretty sure i would use those rather than the stock length of 7.400"

Many aftermarket cams require longer pushrods because of a smaller base circle. You have to check with the cam manufacturer to be sure. You should also check yourself with a pushrod length checker before ordering them.

Doh! I missed the part about the milled heads. You are correct, I would run 7.35s in that case.
