Cam Swap Info Help/Request

[donfrye]

Anyone know about the pushrods and guide plates from Alex's?

[Fireturd]

Doing the cam this winter and stockpiling parts and needed a few clarifications if anyone has the time/info to look over my parts list:

I have a re-grind to cc503 specs Dur. 276/281, @.050 224/230, 112* LSA and 108* centerline

Scorpion SCP1003 1.6 RR: https://www.amazon.com/Scorpion-Perf...on+Performance (Wife has a mess of Amazon gift cards and is going to hook me up for xmas with these)

Comp Cams Guide Plates: 4808-8

Howard's Springs 98213 or 98215, still haven't bought at this point. Considered using the Alex's springs kit but haven't heard enough feedback on them to make an informed decision.

Gasket set- I'm just gonna get the FelPro Head gasket and front cover set FP9966 and 45956 and 34500.

Lifters and push rods: I'll take a look and see while I'm in there.

Am I going to need a new timing set? If so, stock-ish or go all out?

Any input is welcome.

Thanks.

I haven't read everybodies replies but i know Lloyd Elliot likes to use lunati double springs and Comp Cams 850-16 lifters. I personally used felpro 1074 head gaskets, some people use cometic... Id say either one should suit well. I did see someone mentioned checking slack/wear on your current timing setup. If the motor has some miles on it and has never been rebuilt, chances are it's going to have a little bit of slack so you might as well replace it. as stated by others, cloyes makes a good set. I personally have the single roller stock replacement.
