1.6 ratio Roller Rocker Help

I am going with 1.6 Roller Rocker's for my L98 with SR Torquer heads. I have been told I need to get new pushrods when I do the rocker upgrade. Anyone know if I need different length pushrods?

1.6 rockers arms are a tight fit with World
S/R Torquers. I tried a fitting on my new motor with 1.6 Comp Cams roller tip rockers off my old motor and there looks like there is interference between the head guide hole and the pushrod.

I am using the 1.6's on the Torquer heads for the 350 which has 76CC. Do you think that would make a difference? Are you using the Torquer 305's?

I am using the same Torquers as you but with
67 cc chambers on a new 350ci/366hp crate motor that is not installed yet. I also
saw some posts on this board that stated you
couldn't use 1.6 's with World S/R series heads wihout modificaton.
