Default LQ9 + stock 317's + MS4 = ? (First time doing a cam in an LS motor, please help)!

What do you guys think about this setup? Will be bolted to a th350 w/3800 stall, 3.73's.

2005 LQ9
Stock 317 Heads
LS6 intake
Ported T/B
MS4 Cam (239/242, .649"/.609" 111lsa)
Lunati .660 spring kit
1 7/8th long-tubes into 3.5in h-pipe w/bullets dumped.

I assume I'll need to replace the LQ9 injectors I have now (24lb I believe), will 24lb support this setup?

I also believe I will need new pushrods, any idea which size for stock untouched 317's?

Are a new timing chain and oil pump required?

Thanks!

It should be altrght but might be a little lazy down low due to the size of that cam and not a very high compression ratio. But it wont be that bad.

Thr lq9 is 10:1 stock so compression is not that low.
Cam is very similar to a trex
I would however pull and mill the heads. Get ls2 gaskets, cut in vr. And let it chomp
Gonna need 30lb. Injectors at least and tune. It will be strong motor and pull hard all the way thru
