No, but why would you want to? Stock slant six pushrods work great in some pretty serious builds.

Yes. 340 springs used to be a popular modification, but there are many many other choices now.

Any reputable piston supplier. Rock Auto, Autozone, Napa, most any auto parts source can order you some.

Most any auto parts source.

Image Do more research on this site. There have been many, many, many, many, many, many, many discussions about cams. Right now, I would recommend looking at the Erson cam grinds. There has been much research done on those profiles to determine what works best for the intended application of the motor.

I agree. I have only ever ordered one intake from Clifford, it was years ago, and I never even installed it. However, I have heard too many horror stories to shop there.

Some of us have a coffee can in the corner with good stock pushrods since we've shaved the crap out of the slant to get into the fun compression range so that would be an easy one...if your build calculations shave about .1+ out of the head or deck (or both!!!!), then you will need to look up Smith Brothers pushrods in Bend Oregon and send them an order (if you spend more you can fatten the shafts or use a better material than stock if you're going with stiff springs or lots of revs).

FYI,
