Default Stock Pushrod question

I am running a B303 cam with 1.7 Cobra rockers, plus the Crane spring kit that has 130 seat pressure and about 400 compressed. Will stock push rods be strong enough for this setup??

Nope..... + you need to determine what PR length that setup requires anyway. Need to do a valve train geometry check.

What will the stock push rods handle? I also assumed since I am running factory roller rockers from the 93 Cobra's, and the heads have not been milled, that the stock push rods would be o.k. What is the best way to figure all of this out?

well every setup is different, if you need some good pushrods, i have stock length (6.250) from comp, they are hardened and can be used with guideplates, i put 600 miles on them, i got my block milled and whatnot and needed shorter length rods. ill ship them to you for $35

ANy way you can tell if the pushrods are stock or not? The PO (Sigh) on my engine installed a b cam and some springs.. I don't know what springs he installed either.. He didn't really know what he was doing.. ANy way to check the springs as well? I assume no part number or anything on them?
