Re: what push rods ?
To be 100% exact about pushrod length, you must check it using a pusrod length checker. I have used the comp checker which is adjustable from 6.8-7.8" and checked the ideal length different LT1 setups including decked blockes and small base circle cams, and it always came to 7.2" (stock length).
Factors affecting pushrod length:
1- Deck hight,
2- Head milling,
3- Cam base circle,
4- Lifter hight,
5- Valve length.
Saying that I'm 99% sure that the stock length of 7.2 will be perfect for your setup.

Re: what push rods ?
you will be fine w/ 7.2 pushrods. For your setup, i would NOT recomend spending alot of cash on chromoly pushrods.
Your stockers will work fine. You dont need hardened because you are not running guide plates due to the fact that you are running self aligning rockers.
If you want to run new pushrods for peace of mind, i would just get combination motorsports' standard pushrods. They should run you about $20
