Stall for sure, p-rods and spring locks, of course some gaskets, and LS6 oil pump + LS2 chain.

Thanks, which pushrods and spring locks would you recommend me? do you think an ls2 chain would do or should i better get a double chain? to make a double chain conversion, do I only need double cam and crank gears?

I would think the LS2 timing chain would be sufficient, that is what I plan on going with after alot of research. As said before I would look into getting a TC and have it stalled around 3200-3600, to get you into your powerband.

stock size pushrods would work, they are 7.4", go for some chromoly hardened pushrods. Titanium retainers seem to be common addition when doing cam install.
