Got my heads back from the machine shop today and they were taken down .007 from stock (Gt-40p') Can i still use the stock length pushrods? or should i go alittle shorter?

I believe you can use your pushrod's but you might need to adjust your valves

hit the pedestal seat on the head with a touch of 200 grit sandpaper then roll with it. I doubt you will have an issue.
