I would check your base circle to determine what size rods you will need..
my cam was from thunder racing and is an older version of what they have now, and I am not really sure what HPE is doing with there's
just suggesting you check their base circle, and then check what push rod length you will need ...
wouldnt what you to mess anything up.. by going to long on the push rod.

I will have some p&p'd LS1 heads in like 3 weeks. They were on my 4.8 liter combo and worked great.

I also once ran a 224 cam on my 4.8, but it was with the LS1 heads.
