Question Just bought some 243 heads

I jsut bought these heads from a member on here, and now i have some questions, they are from an LS2. I planned on doing a cam swap and now heads i had already bought stock length pushrods, will i still be able to use them? I also have a 98 with the perimeter style head covers so i bought the head covers from him with the coil brackets, will my LS1 coils fit on those brackets? If anybody else has anything i would appreciate it.

The stock pushrods will be fine. The LS6 243's are the only ones with the longer valves and yes, your coils will fit.

I read in your sig you are planning TR224 on a 112 LSA? If you do not allready have it, I would look at a 114 instead. 114 will pass emissions easier than a 112.
112= 0* overlap
114= -4* overlap
