Quick questions, I have to get new pushrods for my build will 3/8" pushrods fit in the head holes? I searched but didn't find any answers on that.

5/16 is stock and will be fine.
If you run a upgraded valve spring with more nose pressure going to a
5/16 4130 .080 wall chrome moly pushrod wouldn't be a bad idea.
Measure and get a pushrod length that will allow you to get 1/4 to 3/4 of a turn of lifter preload
