You will have to do measuing in both circumstances. You will have to check PTVC to determine how small a head gasket you can run with that setup although I imagine you could run a .040 gasket and be OK. I have had good luck with Cometic gaskets.

As for pushrods you will want to buy a pushrod checking tool and measure the exact size you need.

My setup is very similar to yours. Run a stock head gasket. A smaller head gasket will give you too high of a DCR. I'm assuming that cam is on a 110 ICL. Stock length pushrods gave me .080" of lifter preload and a good swipe pattern.

thanks guys!

opinions wanted! i was thinkin of the SLP 7'400 pusrods,

i hafe invested over 7k in this motor allready and dont want to mess it up with some minors faults,

also i need new injectors, i think i will go for 32lb's, standart bore/stroke motor, FAST 90/90 combo, fast fuel rails, what is your opinion?

and what fuel pump?

need opinions on what to buy, and where to buy it,

Then dont ask here what the right sizes are. Do the measurements yourself for PTVC too see how thin a gasket you can go and use a pushrod checker to get the length you need. All the answers you will get here regarding your custom setup are purely guesses.

You spent 7k already, take the extra few hours and do it right the first time.

42lb injectors and racetronix fuel pump kit, fuel rails are not needed but if you want to buy them then they are a cool thing to have.

measure. i ended up having to use 7.0's on my set-up. just measure to be safe and correct.

i have allready bougth the FAST fuel rail's, they look beutyfull

patriot told me to use stock length's, i was mostly wondering about, where to buy it, and what re the best ones,

same with the head gaskets,

Search around for pushrod lengths and you will find that these recommended 7.4 pushrods that all these companies recommend are wrong a lot of the time if you actually measure the length you need.

Those heads should be have stock deck size since patriot welds the chambers instead of milling and you are running a stock head gasket. Since you have a cam with a smaller base circle than stock you will need a longer pushrod than 7.4.

Like you said you already have $7K into you engine, just buy the $20 tool and measure what you need, it takes an entire 10 minutes to check. Once you have your length any hardened rod will get the job done.

Go start your own thread in the external forum and ask your question, dont jack someone elses.
