You need new ones. Stock ones are not hardened and will wear on the guide plates. If Dart did not specify longer ones (usually 0.100" longer), you can get stock length hardened pushrods from Jegs or Summit.

I`ve got it figured out. With your help of course. Thanks. I bought the heads online, good price, good shipping. Called to ask about pushrod length and he had no idea. So now I have to decide stock length or .1 over.

According to the Dart tech sheet, Iron Eagles use stock length pushrods. Summit sells a set for about 29 bucks. Just make sure they're hardened for use with guideplates.
