I've assemble several different 400 stroker motors with those heads with 1.5 rocker ratio aluminum rocker arms and 3/8 pushrods with solid roller cams and lifters up
I'm getting ready to finish assembling a 1972 413 truck block bored to 4.250 with a 4.150 stroke crank with a set of their heads and a set of ductile iron RAS blueprinted 1.5 ratio rockers, if I run into problems with 3/8 Manton 3/8 pushrods on the hydraulic lifters used in this motor I'll add onto this post later about that up

The bottom line is, you will need an adjustable pushrod to come up with the correct length. Lift is not important, is the cam a hydraulic flat tappet, a solid F/T, are you running adjustable rockers or the stock stamped? Any way, to do it right, it needs to be measured after assembly.
