I doubt anyone is going to have engines tagged by how far over the cylinders are bored. Best to have one built if you want something that specific.

I don't buy replacement engines. I grab junk yard units and build them myself, so no, I don't.

Yes, I believe that it is recommended to use non-factory length push rods with the 422 cam.

IIRC Comp has a sheet on their website that will say for sure.
