Default Can I use the stock LS2 Pushrods and Timing Chain?

I am installing the TR224/224 cam in my 01 TA. Can I use the stock LS2 pushrods and timing chain in the install? Are the pushrods in the LS2 7.400" hardened crome moly? Should I be safe and go for a double roller timing chain? (I ran some searches but couldn't find the exact answer.)

i would not go with stock pushrods,LS2 or LS1..they are the same,as far as i know..i think you'll be allright with the timing chain,but i would ask an expert just to be sure..

I agree with 66duece, get hardened pushrods, but the timing chain should be fine.

you dont HAVE TO HAVE them with that cam...if you plan on it, plan on getting some rocker arms to...pushrods are the cheat parts in the valvetrain if you break one...rockers arent...
