Question What else do I need?

Ok, I'm looking for the final parts to my winter buildup. What I have so far:

AFR 205 heads
FAST 92mm Intake
NW92mm TB
G5X3 114LSA Cam

I know I need to finish out the 92mm by replacing the MAF, etc... This isn't what I'm conserned with at the momement. For now I need to find the remainder of the internal componenets so I can start my build. What I need recommendations on are:

Push Rods
Head Bolts
Gasgets
Rockers
Springs

Do I use the stock components or replace these? I figure at the very least I need to replace the push rods. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

lifters would be a good idea as well while you have the heads off. I prefer a Morel in hi performance applications, they are more expensive but worth the money.

Push Rods .... Yes .. TSP,TFS,Comp,Thunder Racing.. all smartly priced
Head Bolts ..... Either OEM TTY or ARP . OEM is less money of course $44'ish
Gaskets .............. AFR recommends a certain size on those. GM MLS are the least expensive and a good gasket
Rockers... you can use stock, go with the Comp trunnion rebuild or buy YT UL's
Springs ...Will come on the heads, your cam dictates if you need to upgrade to the 8019's. If you already have the heads what springs did you order with them?

Come to think of it. Yes, the heads did come with the springs.

205's come with springs good to .600 lift by default. Not sure what that cam's lift is but you should make sure and make sure of what springs you have on the heads. AFR uses doubles for both applications.
