As Mark said, you really don't want aluminum pushrods.
Get the cut to length CroMo rods that Chris sells.
Added advantage - you can now set your valve clearance to 0.

If you are rebuilding an engine, everything you can do to improve your valve train is going to add benefit to your motor.

Also, when I cut mine no lathe was needed. I just cut them SLIGHTLY proud with a hack saw and then walked into my measurement with file (which also dressed the edge).
