Using Stock Push Rods And Lifters On Cam Swap?

Is doing this ok? I think i'm going to buy the CC1418-16 MAGNUM SELF-ALIGNING ROLLER TIP 1.6 & CRN-10308-1 Chevrolet: 1992-99 350 LT1 with aluminum cylinder heads, valve spring and retainer kit. I have the CC305 cam. Any suggestion are fine. Thanks

some cars came stock with hardened pushrods. as far as lifters, you're taking a chance at collapsing a worn stock lifter. id take the preventative measures and order both hardened pushrods and at LEAST a new set of stock replacement lifters.

Your stock pushrods should be fine. The stock lifters should be fine with that cam as it doesn't have very aggressive lobes.

Stock parts will be fine for that as long as they're in good shape.

my buddy also has some fuel injectors he said he would give me for free, i think there 36lb would this also help maxumize the cams effectiveness. Also would youo recommend a TB at the sametime

I installed the XE224/230 in early Spring. My car had 83,000 on it and I reuesd the stock lifters and pushrods. Many ( and I mean many ) 6000rpm pulls since install and have had no problems. 32lb inj. are way overkill for what you have. Stock 24# will support up to 400hp I think...please correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

LT1 Forever, I have those same rockers in my garage now that I've up graded while do a H/C swap. If you what them, I'll sell them to you for $130 shipped. They have less than 3k on them.
Take care, Rick
