roller cam is a completely different thing you need better valves, better springs, and retainers, new cam bearings new double roller type chain with a roller bearing in the top gear as well as a special timing cover with an adjuster so as the cam does not walk around in the block < bucks all of it - can you spend ????????????? --
roller rockers > in all the dyno stuff i have done i have never seen even one HP from using them but they are on all of our race motors hahahahahahaah
sure you can use a set of roller rockers but know what stud size on the heads first 3/8 or 7/16 posts -
push rods are determined after all of what you buy is installed, and we do it at max lift method , if i knew how to find it on this site i did a write up about it, maybe someone can find it it would be helpfully if you download it and read
intake manifold the best for a 400 plus HP motor is a edel victor JR you cant use a super victor and the china crap 30 buck manifolds are just that but do a 2 inch one hole spacer plastic or wood type not alloy they cause bubbles in the fuel lines , Set the fuel pressure to 7 pounds at regulator with a by pass back to the tank is the best deal # 6 line would work out OK for that combo
headers if jet hot coated them than nothing else is needed, if they came with the coating and you used them, they are already rusting so wrapping them is a deal also put the sipper system into the collectors from the valve covers that does work > it helps seal the rings to the bore at high RPMs from the vacuum it creates both on and off the gas real gas, with racing a car some will use an egt to jet the carb but again its bucks and installing the bungs if at a later date is a thing do it now -- just my take been their done that sort of thing many times with this kind of combo -- i am doing an artical about degreeing the cam in a non shop garage but i ju$k at typing and speeling and this took my a good 1/2 hour -- jz

I checked out the cam..i am a little afraid of soild lifters..how often to they need to be adjusted?...i will stay away from the roller lifters..
the fuel system in the car is still a stock mechanical pump and stock fuel lines..if i need to change them out for something more could you recomend a pump? and should i run one new feed line and keep the same bypass...
thanks for all the help so far
