and what lenght pushrods ?
i was gonna go with 1.7 ratio with using these push rods ( comp cam 7933-1) if i stayed stock...
change of things again...
staying with the 5.2 stroke it to 390 , bore it 30 over , deck polish ported heads... now the issue i have is now do i stay with 1.6 roller rocker or maybe 1.5 and pushrods will change to , depends on what cam i go with...
are you gonna use guide plates at all ?

RE: My cam swap thread
yea, I think those are the pushrods I went with. 6.90s from comp. I didnt see if those were the 1 pc hardened, but I got theier 1 pc hardened.I couldnt find any stock 6.925s, all they had were 6.9 and 6.950s. I figgure I can make up .25 with adjustments rather than trying to compensate .25 out of the valvetrain
For the rockers, I got 1.6 Harland Sharps for a chevy small block full rollers. I cant see any bearings so Id have to assume they are not pin needles. I suggest getting a cam built specificly to make the lift you want to achieve with either 1.5 or 1.6, that way if you want more lift later (ported heads or diffrent heads) you can just switch rockers for better lift, rather than installing a new cam (though I would also recomend that you know what the flow specs are going to be on either setup, so that you can figgure out if the durations will be benificial to both stock heads and somewhat benificial with the porting/ aftermarkets).
The crane cams stud convo kit comes included with all the goodies you want, including guideplates.

RE: My cam swap thread
I added another part to the list...just picked up some eddelbrock 4495's for extra rocker clearance, not to mention, people crap their pants when they see chrome at a car show.
Before anyone screams about them being for a LA style head....they fit, atleast thats what comp cams and some other people have told me ( I will find out 100% on sunday). The only issue is that there are 5 unused bolt holes....which really isnt an issue. You just have to make sure to check the valve cover bolts every once in a while to make sure they are tight. Chrysler did have an oil leakage issue with the old la style valve cover setup. Otherwise....the 5 bolts that are still there, line up.
