Default Gen IV 5.3 freshen up

Getting ready to freshen up my 5.3 plan on a dod delete Vinci Trucker high lift cam. also planned on getting the heads milled .30 for a little extra power. now the question comes of what length pushrods do i need?


also would this work with my engine?

You're going to have to get a pushrod length tool and check it to get it right.

I think with that double roller, you have to trim the timing chain cover. If you're just looking for something on a street truck, get a single billet roller from Aadvance Auto. Comes from SA gear in a Car Quest box. It was like $30 after coupon codes
