Advice on Cam swap components Ok here's what I've gathered to do my Cam swap, please let me know if I am missing anything or should correct anything. All going on my '95 LT1
1.) CC503 Cam Advertised Duration 224/230, Lift .503/.510, 112lsa
2.) Comp Cam Pro Magnum NSA 1.6 RR's 1305-16 (Will I have valve cover clearance issues?)
3.) ARP Rocker Arm Studs 7/16" 134-7103
4.) Crane LT1 Valve Spring and Retainer Kit 10308-1
5.) Trick Flow Chromemoly Pushrods 7.2" 21407200
6.) Trick Flow Guideplates TFS-30400623-8
7.) LT4 Timing Chain 12555887 (Just the chain is ok right?)
8.) GM LS7 Lifters 12499225
Also how do you think this setup would work with a Yank Super Stock 3600 Converter?
All input is greatly appreciated

With non self aligning you have a more stable valvetrain and can rev higher without having to worry. With the rocker arm studs it depends on what size roller rockers you get, 3/8 is the stock size and you don't need them but if you get 7/16, which everyone will recommend, you need different studs.
By the way with the valve covers you will need to bend the L shaped brackets straight and they will fit no problem. With the timing chain you may as well get the gear and sprocket since you already in there doing the swap. Its cheap insurance.
As stated above, I would go with a good set of ARP 7/16" rocker studs. Also, for the timing chain, I would go with a cloyes double roller and an electric waterpump. You will pick up a few more ponies and the cloyes tends to stretch less over time. If you ever plan on going to a bigger cam that will rev higher, then I would go with the NSA rocker arms, as stated above, they let you rev higher with less worries.

^^Thanks alot guys looks like I'll go with some Comp Cams Pro Magnum 1.6RR's, 7/16" stud with ARP 7/16" rocker studs.
How are my springs, lifters, pushrods looking? And should I get pushrod guideplates?

I don't know about your spring kit because I need a link to see it as I'm too lazy too search for it. You only need guideplates if you get the non self aligning RR's. Which are recommended for stability. Where did you get the duration numbers for that cam? Those are not the correct numbers for the cc503 cam. The duration should be 224/230 for the cc503.
