Default help with completing h/c/i

ok so i've order most of my stuff for the rest of my hci, plz help me out with the missing parts. i've ordered so far.

typhoon u/l intake
70mm t/b and EGR
RHS 180cc completed aluminum heads.
30lbs ford racing injectors
255 summit fuel pump
new fuel tank(mine has dry rott on top of it, terrible fuel smell)
Pro mass 75mm mass air for 30# injectors.
ford racing b303(already installed)

I have questions on the following:
Gaskets: there is a summit kit made by felpro for about 85 dollars
lifters:i dont think these matter much
pushrods: what length or how do i measure, what brand / kind?
roller rockers: whats good but not super expensive
new bolts: i know i need arp bolts but are there top end kits or do i have to select each set i want?
timing set: which one?


im looking for quality but on the cheap plz i dont need the absolute best

Inorder to check pushrod length you need a solid lifter and also an adjustable pushrod. I'd recommend going with ARP head studs, i got them instead of the bolts and they worked out very well.

Gaskets: just call summit up and ask them, thats what i did and they got me a fel pro set for around $85-90
Lifters: its a good idea to get a new set with a H/C/I swap
Pushrods: Like onyxcobra said you will either need a slid lifter or convert a hydraulic tosolid then use an adjustable pushrod to measure legnth
Rockers: The only brank that ive heard people having problems with are proforms
Bolts: im not sure what exactly your asking
timing set: any doubble roller should be fine, you do not need to get a billet timing set
hope that helps
