Best way is to measure base circle.
Stock base 1.55 - (your measurement)= Difference
Now difference / 2 = how much longer your p-rods should be
7.400+(how much longer)= p-rods needed

This is for cam only.

No do not use your stockers, they will flex to much and prolly bend. At least use 7.400 but I would do the calcs.
