Default Pushrods

I'm gonna have Edelbrock Performer heads w/ 1.6 roller rockers and and edelbrock #3722 cam (same specs as e cam). Do i just use stock length pushrods? I know I need hardened ones b/c of the guideplates in the heads, so would a set of the Ford Racing work? Wanna make sure about this before it all goes together.

Sounds like you have the pushrods under control but if I were you, I would get a better cam. I have an E and its ok, but my buddy has a coupe with performer heads and a lunati cam and it screams. Do some research before buying the cam, you will be glad you did. I would check Lunati, CompCams, or Anderson Ford Motorsports and see what they have. Just research so you dont put it together and wish you had done it diffrently. I have done things i wish i had thought about and researched more, thats why im telling you this. A little Research goes a long way.

Yea, my only problem is I don't know a whole lot about them. I just knew that the e cam sounded good, pulled pretty good and idled good for an everyday driver. If you wanna help me, please go ahead.

Well, it isn't the e cam, its an edelbrock Performer Plus Cam, just pretty much has the same specs. By the way, anyone know the lobe separation for the e cam?
