Shim the Yella Terra's for wipe, then measure for pushrod length. Those lengths are pretty long and the pushrod stiffness decreases with length (about 15% for 7.700 from stock length), you might want to consider bigger diameter pushrods as well.

Always order pushrods last. Install the heads, check the wipe on the rocker and shim accordingly, then measure for the pushrods. I measure for pushrods then continue the installation of parts, usually by the time you are ready for the pushrods they will be there. This time I am going with the Manton 11/32" OD pushrods. I had Terry make me one sample for mock-up and it is heads and shoulders better than the off the shelf and he will custom make the length.
