If you are changing heads and rocker arms I'd say that it will probably need a set of pushrods too.......

I didn't change mine pushrods and i'm running a similar set up and had no issues at all but left the stock HO cam in car ? I Never changed my stock oil pump or water pump... Go with felpro gaskets !

Good luck with build heads along should give you another 40 more hp or so no need to change out the 19lb injectors good up to 300 hp or so just send them out to here and get rebuilt this is where i sent my they did a good job on them !

Its definitely all about the money.. I had a few of the items already and my buddy has a few from a project he stopped working on, other wise I'd probably go with better heads and intake.. So I plan on putting this stuff on over the winter just to give the car a lil more. I also just picked up a 351 block for cheap and plan to slowly build that motor.

Changing out your injectors will give you room to grow in the future. If you are set on replacing the water and oil pumps, just get stock replacements. No need for hi volume

I'll sell him my 42's. It was just a suggestion I see most people do, I personally wouldn't do it if I already had the 19's.
