Default ordered and on the way BUT

well my trickflow setup has been shipped and sould be here on wednesday, so i figure ill get the teardown and labeling done on tuesday night?

anyways the two things from the kit were out of stock, the timing chain and the rollerrocker set apparently.

this is the kit http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku the part i KNOW is backordered is this http://store.summitracing.com/partde...rt=SUM-G6620-B would i be able ot use my stock one till that comes in than swap it out???

same thing with the rockers that are with the kit? can i use factory ones till those come or would they not fit?? http://store.summitracing.com/partde...t=TFS-51400510

idk if you could use the factory roller rockers or not, but i would think if you could the push rod length would be off a bit. .

id wait until i got it all to put it on....but thats going to kill you..sitting there staring at all those new parts....

Are the TW heads use a stuf or pedestal mount? If they're also ped mount like stockers then you could use your stock rockers for the time bein. The timing chain on the other hand is something you don't really want to do twice. Be patient on that part or just have them credit you the cost of that chain and go get a Cloyes timing chain set from a parts store.
