Little more pep...but what pushrod length ?

Well the time has come for my 6k mi. motor to receive it's top end swap. I got a set of Freedom series heads from Patriot and an RPM Air Gap intake, Edelbrock double roller timing chain and am fixing to order the 268H cam,pushrods,roller tip rockers w/ a 1.7 ratio and lifters from Comp. Only question is has anyone swapped these parts, and if so what length pushrods did you use ? Running a turbo 350 and 3.73's out back, exhaling with Hooker shortys

Get your engine put together with the new parts and buy a pushrod length checking tool for $20. The extra few days it takes to wait for the correct pushrods to come in is going to be much better (and cheaper) than taking a guess and picking the wrong length.
