Default Quick GT40 heads questions

Ok the search isnt working for my so i was just wondering some quick questions about gt40 heads and upper/lower intake

1. Can i reuse the pushrods when i swap the heads in?

2.Do i need to take any of the fuel rails or sensors/wires with the intake?

3.Do i reuse my same head bolts with the swap?

Thanks

as for head bolts if they were stock torque to yield ones I wouldn't reuse them but it depends on what year motor your working on...lack of info makes it difficult to give an accurate answer...as for fuel rails ??? what are you doing ??? and as for push rods it all depends on what rockers you are using ..if using roller rockers it 's best to measure and check for proper push rod length but since they are stock heads.. stock push rods should be fine

then most of the gt-40 stock stuff should be a direct transfer

what about having them milled? would that have any effect on pushrod length? if used w/ 1.6 rockers and a .512 lift cam?
