Stock length should be fine, unless your changing to a diferent ratio rocker... Like going from 1.7 to 1.8... I would def do the hardened rod, and they can be had from multiple sponsors for a decent price...
If you need any more info, I just got done with this swap last winter and can give ya any input needed. Let me know.
Could also give you a hand... Depending on the when and where. Doing it yourself isnt bad, but there are a few things that really do help if your leaving the heads on....
