Heres the ones i orderd http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-RP1427-16/ , It came with push rods. I dont want to use the stock rockers because i got HD valve springs and a .533 lift cam. The motor is all brand new wating to be put in the truck so i still got to get valve covers. But why a intake spacer ? And will these rockers work with the conversion kit?

You need the taller valve cover because the rockers with the stud is taller so when u get the taller valve cover it will hit the intake

That's the cool thing about my 77, it going to be fuel injected from a 1990 gt. The push rods are stock length. Do you need different lenght for The conversion kit?

youll need the intake spacer then when u fuel inject it the intake wouldnt clear the valve covers and seat properly then to top it off when i did that i had to get a cowl hood because the intake stuck up to high but got a good site for fiberglass cowl hoods so i went to the pedestal rockers again to much bs to deal with

But magnums are not that big. About the same size as the stock ones

stock length means nothing unless a figure is provided, the 302 can use different lengths pending the style cam used, length must be measure always not assumed, it's about proper geometry for longevity
