Push rod and timing chain Doing a Texas speed cam swap in my 2002 ls1 Camaro. Cam is a 233/239 with .600 lift. And double valve springs kit. Should I get a ls2 timing chain or will it make a difference? And how long should my pushrods be? I know stock is 7.400 but will size make a difference? Help please.

If it was me, while I was doing the cam swap, I would change to an LS2 chain and damper.
Also, you always have to measure for proper pushrod length when doing a cam swap, head swap, new head gaskets, etc. Most aftermarket cams have a smaller base circle versus a stock cam so longer pushrods are usually necesarry. But there is no way to know ahead of the install what length pushrod you will need. You need to measure.
