I would say that to be your problem. The good news is if it is a 5.7 push rod then they are cheap to buy, plus pretty much anyone who has done a cam install has replaced their old 5.7 push rods with plenty laying around in garages. Check with folks in your area to see if anyone has any they can give you. If all fail send me a PM and I'll send you some spares.
Note: Not to insult you, but you are aware that the exhaust and intake push rods are different lengths?
