Im thinking on buying the pushrods & springs & ls7 lifters 1st will my truck be ok if i just slap it on with out the cam and like 2months later put on the cam? And wr can i find this stuff cheap?

 

What converter are you running

 

I got most of my stuff from Texas Speed & Performance, they won't just sell you something because you say you want it. I was getting a set of head gaskets, and told them that I wanted .030 gaskets for a set of heads that were milled .030, and they talked me out of it, saying that they wouldn't be comfortable with the Piston to Head clearance. So they're also genuinely concerned for their customer's and their customer's builds.

Give them a call and they'll get you what you need.

You can put the PR's, springs, and lifters in, but I'd wait and do the cam at the same time too. no reason to do the same work twice.

 

3200 stall

 

220 or less.

 

well said.. that 220 might be too much for that heavy truck.. and the fact its a 4.8

 

Why not just do the cam and springs?

 

Pushrods, springs and lifters are not going to gain you anything. They just support the cam upgrade. . .

Don't forget the head bolts and gaskets. **** adds up.

 

I would say he could run a lil larger but not with just a 3200 imo

 

I'm running a 216/220 cam with ls6 springs longtube headers 2.5 true dual exhaust dumped 3000 circle D stall and vette servo and pretty happy with this set up I need to take it back to flaco for a retune since I just put in the stall
