Question 6.1 pushrods with stock 5.7 cam?

I'm in the process of changing out valve springs. I'm going to hold off a little while on the KRC 210 cam. Can I throw in the 6.1 pushrods I have for now while I have it opened up?

I was told no when I asked about this last year. From memory I was told the 6.1 pushrods are different lengths compared to the 5.7 and you need a different cam than the stock one because of this.
I do remember I was told not to do it.
Someone will chime in.
Al.

Thanks, yeah just sticking with the stock rods for now. It's not too bad to change them out when it's time for the cam.
