That will be a semi-custom pushrod, and if you're going to spend the money
for such, first I'd get an adjustable pushrod (one only) to see if the ones
you need are of a certain length for correct geometry. Some lifters have
their seats at non-'stock' height so that alone calls for different length
pushrods, and multiple valve jobs plus head & block squaring can change things
too.
Second, depending on what cam & springs you're using, consider a thicker
pushrod wall for a little more stiffness. Stock '70 Boss pushrods used 0.060"
walls but 0.080" are about as thin as you can buy today. All this can be
selected in custom pushrods. I've used Smith Bros, but there are many others to
choose today. Good luck- J Deryke
