so I just got my gt40x heads and e303 cam in what lifters rockers and other associated parts should i pick up?

if they are pedastal mount heads, you'll need pedastal roller rockers, scorpion sells a decent inexpensive set up, just did the same set up last weekend fro a guy except we put a b cam in....you'll need to measure for push rods but if it's anything like the one I did, stock length 6.250 ish will work, but you still must measure, also if they are pedastal mount heads, might wanna pick up the shim kit as well for the rockers, we needed to use the thicker shims to get preload spot on

How do I measure for the rods and how do I tell if they're pedestal the valve train I one thing I'm weak in

Pushrod length checker. If they are new heads then you should be good with a 6.25 rod but some cases you do have to change length. Check to be sure.
With lobe on the base circle extend the adj pushrod til you get desired preload and lock the jam nuts the remove it and measure it. Sometimes you will get an off the wall measurment I always round up.

You can tell the difference in the rocker arm mounts, by looking at the heads. Pedestal mounted rockers sit on a threaded "pedestal" and use an attaching bolt. Stud mounted rockers have a threaded stud that sticks up out of the head and use a special nut that attaches the rocker arm.
