Parts needed for replacing lifters??

Since I have a pretty nice tick I thought that I might have to replace them soon. ANd since I won't be doing heads any time soon and I'm looking at getting a cam that needs 1.5 rockers I thought I would just do that. What is all needed for this swap? The 1.5 Rockers, springs, push rods, retainers. Anything else? Also, does anyone sell a setup like this? Thanks.

If I were you I would get the Hotcam kit. Ive seen gains of .7 sec in the 1/4 from it. (94 Z with hotcam kit FIPK headers and exhaust ran 12.78 @107 Thats pretty good for as cheap as it is.

The hotcam kit is available through GMpartsdirect.com or scoggindickey and costs around 595$ this includes;
Cam, Rockers, Springs, and Retainers. If you are replacing your lifters I would call camp cams and tell em what you have and tell them to send you some lifters and chromeoly pushrods. (about 200 for a good set of lifters and about 40 for pushrods). The only other things you will need is the timing cover gasket and Intake manifold gasket. (Mabye valvecover gaskets to be safe, but alot of people re-use those). Oh and some RTV
600
200
40
50
about 900$ will do it,
Also the lighter weight valvetrain will make your motor more stable at high RPMs, thats the way I would go...
