Default Pushrod length for lq4 with ls6 heads

Ive got a set of ls6 heads and a 224/224 cam that Im putting into my lq4 and was wondering if I will just need a set of 7.40 pushrods. I have a ls6 cam in the truck right now with the stock heads and have a set of 7.425's, will those be too long?

thanks

Generally 7.4 length pushrods seem to do the trick, but for $11 to $17, you can know for sure
