Default Fuel pump push rods

With the early 40s Mercury engines with the raised intake surface around the ports, do they require a longer pushrod?

There are two different length's that I know of: 8.87" for cast iron intakes, and
7.87" for aluminum intakes. Hope this helps.

No. The machined surface is at the same position. The term "raised surface" is misleading.
