pushrods?

I just ordered my springs today, I need some good pushrods and rocker studs. Whats a good brand to go with on each?

Also with my heads, Since I think I'm going to go with the F-13 cam, what size valves/type should I go with and where can I get the heads machined for the bigger valves?

Re: pushrods?

any of the major companies like Comp sell hardened pushrods that will suit your need.

as for the heads...are you talking on stock 5.7l heads??

why not just buy some ported heads from a reputable company?

Re: pushrods?

They arent going to be stock when i'm done with them. I'm going a P&P on my own time to save the extra, what 1200 bucks!? Plus i've ported a couple sets of older 70's GM heads, so I kinda know what I'm doing, but I've been advised on the differences and what to do. Before I bolt em on i'm going to get them flow benched also so that i know i did it right. and if that doesnt work out.. ebay
