Default What else do I need?

Just baught a G5X3 cam and a set of AFR 205's (Merry X-mas to me) for my RX-7/LS6. What else do I need?

Will the stock rockers off my LS6 work with a .600+ lift cam?
What size pushrods to I need? (the heads will stay unmilled)
What other spring choices do I have? Kinda leaning towards comp 921's

TIA
Rich.

rockers will work just fine.
I would say that the 7.4's or maybe even the 7.45's if you stay unmilled.
921's are a rock solid choice. My joy leans towards the Patriot Golds. They are just as reliable and are half the price!

Hope that gets you off to adecent start!

Thanks for the reply, How about the front cover or timing chain. Do I need to replace either one of them. And yeah I have pictures of the GN but I don't know how to post here. I can send'em to you if you want.

P.S. What do normal cam swaps usually run. A buddy of mine checked with American Chevrolet here in in N. Cal for ***** and giggles today and they quoted him 20.4 hours R&R for an LS6.....OUCH!!!!

Again thanks
Rich.
