Funny, I'm running .640 lift and have PTV clearance of .187. Just check your stuff and see if you need to have any work done.
Nobody ever said this was easy or there'd be a millioncars all running out there..

BTW, I'd use some light springs and some welded lifters to see just what pushrods I'd use with an adjustable pushrod.
Never order pushrods when you order the cam/rockers/lifters

Op you need to verify and perform all the proper checks, I can't understand why people try to shotgun this process so often.....more often than not the next thread from doing such is titled... "WTF my chit don't run right or is making wierd noises"
