Default Cam and parts question

So far i have a custom cam

@summit part number CRN-10308-1 those springs and seats. I believe theyre crane doubles. I think thats what i was told

and retainers

I believe im going to get gaskets.. From felpro, do I need head gaskets or intake gaskets?

Im gettin GMPP guideplates with 7/16 crane cams screw in studs

And Im gettin some probably GMPP chromoly pushrods but im not sure what size to get. Some insight there would help. Thanks alot!!

If you search summit you'll get all the right part numbers you need, or get them from Thunder like I told ya. You need intake gaskets, not head gaskets. You'll also need a timing cover gasket set. With both of those you should have all the gaskets you need.

That would depend on your rockers. If you get rockers that require a 3/16 stud then you need to get a 3/16 stud. Same for the 7/16 stud.

all screw in studs(like lt1/lt4s) have 7/16 threads that go into the head, the top portion(where the rocker nut goes on) is either 3/8 or 7/16, if you get new rockers and want new studs, get 7/16s studs and rockers(they are stronger/more stable at higher rpms then 3/8s)
