Yes you can run the stock pushrods but as said before you need to upgrade the springs. For all the work it take to install it I think I'd find a better cam and sell that to a friend you suspect is hitting on your girlfriend or wife.

Could just be me but I'd never trust stock pushrods with aftermarket springs. One of my friends turned his valvetrain into a pretzel because of that...

E cam and gt-40s shouldnt be giving you ANY PTV issues... but you need to pull a head off to be sure. clay the pistons and spin it over again (install only one cylinder's worth of valvetrain btw... makes it easier to turn over)
