If you shave the head down .10, do you have to get different pushrods?

Maybe, maybe not. You will have to check upon reassembly though. :shock:

If you shave it .100" and retain a stock cam - - most likely.

If you go to a higher lift cam maybe not; the adjusters will take up the extra length.

High Lift cams have smaller base circles.

I cut my head and block for .10 and reground the stock cam to a higher lift. The stock push rods were right on the money.

I'm probably going with the Erson 270 cam to give it some more punch since the car is pretty heavy. Four doors to move.

My four door is a 330 B-body. A bit more than your A-body in sure.
