The real question is qhy you bent the pushrods in the first place. There is no reason why the pushrods should have bent in the first place absent major problems or serious over-revving. Are you getting coil bind or is the valve lash set wrong?

In the end, the answer is that yes you can just get replacement pushrods. You only need hardened ones if you are using guideplates, which shouldn't be the case with the hotcam kit.

I'm using hardened pushrods without guide plates. You'll need 7.200" long.
