Default What does it take to convert to a solid roller when have Gx3 cam and AFR 205 heads?

I would like to change to an aggressive solid roller set up. My engine has Gx3 cam with AFR 205 heads milled to say 57cc (it's 11.24 cr). The pistons are LS6 and notched something like 2cc with the Isky tool.

I know I will need special rockers, etc but my concern is will I need to replace the pistons or use them as is? Replacing pistons would add a lot to the cost, I think.

I appreciate everyone's input, as well as let me know if there's any other things to consider.

Lifter

Pushrods

Springs

Maybe some clearancing of the heads.

do a search, plenty of threads on how to convert to solid roller.

these guys have most of it:
pushrods
springs
solid lifters
adjustable rockers
taller valve covers
longer plug wires
solid roller cam
clearance pushrod holes in heads
