Most likely with that combo yes, but shorter I think. You need an adjustable rod, then buy the length you need.

Possibly this one: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/tfs-9001

You are going to need the adjustable pushrod as Mattdel suggested. You'll have to measure for the witness mark made on the valve stem, its a guess and check game. Do you know how to measure for pushrod length?

Will this cam and rockers be used with a stock engine? I sure hope not.... that also will determine whether or not you will need to measure for a new length!
