Default Pushrod length?

What are the lengths of the pushrods on LS1's and LS6's.

Just saw from GMPP that there appears to be only one p/n for all pushrods, LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6 and L92.

10238852 7.325"

Is this correct. I thought the Z06 cam had a smaller base circle and pushrod length was dependant on that. Plus, I thought the standard push rods were 7.40"?

Anyone clear up my confusion?

To my knowledge - 7.400

A recent post indicated LS3 was also 7.400

I am running 7.350 due to milled heads / Cometic gasket and the alignment is perfect so 7.325 sounds too short for a stock LS1/LS6 setup unless it is in conjunction with a different lifter.

Actual gauge length I measured was 7.385". The pushrods are the same because the base circle is smaller but the valve stems are taller to balance it out.
