Your pushrods should be fine but you will be cutting it close if your on stock bottom end, just double check your clearence before starting it. If you have an adjustable timing set try laying the cam forward a couple degrees. You should get out of the hole a little quicker. O and if that cam doesnt work try advancing that e-cam 4 degrees, frpp cams are usually 4 degrees off.

whats the benefit of installing the cam advance or backing it up 4 degrees? i removed the timing cover it has a adjustable timing chain and the e cam was backed up 4 degrees . i installed the new cam put the timing chain back up and lined up the dots put the lifter back in and push rod with the chim in it and the push rod feels lose it has a little of play up and down. if i remove the chim it feels to tight kinda presses down on the spring a little [Confused]
