depends on the cam. i milled .040 off some 243's and put them on a 5.3 with a tr220 and used 7.4 pushrods. right now i am stock headed with a tr224 and am using 7.45's. most aftermarket cams have a smaller base circle.

i used a stock gasket also. 7.4's will probably work.

Pushrods are cheap, get a checker and keep your own heads.......don't mess with the 706's

I don't know about reusing head gaskets... I didn't know you could... I would get new ones if it were me(and I had the cash lol).
