Default Cam Install

224/224 .581/.581 will I be able to use the stock pushrod length?

What should I get the 7.40 or 7.35?

With only the information you've given we can't say, but if you are using stock unmodified heads then 7.400 without a doubt. 7.350 with that cam and stock heads could be really bad.

You wouldn't modify your pushrod length for the sake of any cam. You only modify your pushrod length if you alter your valvetrain geometry. By that, I mean mill the heads, or go to a different rocker setup that's incompatible with the stock setup, etc.

OVATE WIRE SPRING SET, USE WITH STOCK RETAINERS

That's what I have so far. The brand is Comp Cams.

I think I will go with the CHROME MOLY PUSHRODS 7.400' (STOCK LENGTH)

I am getting this stuff from Speed Inc.
