Default Looking for a Kit.

Well, It's time for me to get a cam.
Now, I know besides the stick, i'll need springs. which is no problem. My car just clicked 91k on the clock, it's time anyways =)
My question is, is there any sponsor that sells a cam kit? with the stick, and possibly springs with it.

My next question is, about how long can pushrods last? I was thinking while the motor was opened up i might as well do as much as i can with the funds that i got.
My budget is looking to be at around 800 dollers capped. Spending less would of course, be awesome.
Any sudgestions or points in the right directions.
Thanks guys!

Id suggest you go with a dual spring kit since it comes with everything. I decided to go with hardened pushrods, but you dont have too. Better to bend a PR than break a valve. Your also gonna need a new crank bolt, waterpump gaskets, coolant. i figure the this for pricing
cam- ~400
spring kit- 289
PR's- 110
waterpump gaskets
and crank bolt about 15 bucks from fred beans
11 for coolant
