Cam and pushrod question for 351w

I have a f4te block out of an f250. I want to run an HO cam in said engine for a little while until I go custom grind with a set of tfs heads. For now I plan on running the HO cam with the stock e7's What I have so far...spider hold down tray, dog bones and roller lifters. They are from a 5.0 ho stang, as far as I know these will work in a 5.8 Correct? Now my other question is, with the HO cam installed what length of pushrods do I need to run? Before you say "search for it!" I am letting you know that I am currently searching. Just wanted to ask this before I continued. So far I find that the HO cam can be swapped into the 302...Just nothing on pushrods.

Also the f4te that I own had a flat tappet installed too. So I'd imagine those would be too long? or maybe just right? I know on the 302 there is a difference in length for the pushrods.

Thanks in advance.

Use the standard length roller pushrods for the 351. They're approximately 7.5" long

Both motors use all the the same valvetrain components except the pushrods which are longer for the 5.8 than the 5.0 and also roller cam pushrods are shorter than those for a flat tappet cam. You need 7.567" pushrods.
