to answer your first question, yes, it has roller lifters. the stock heads use pedistal mounted rockers, you can get a set of 1.6 ratio. if you wanted to get stud mounted, you would have to have the heads machined to fit the studs.

yes you could use 1.7 rockers and that would work fine with the e303 camshaft, you just have to watch your piston to valve clearance if you start going to your more extreme cams. as far as the push rods go, if it says that they use guide plates, then you must use guide plates. i'll put a link at the bottom to a good set of ford racing pushrods. i just rebuilt my block and i used these and there all you'll need. ok, now the springs, you will want to use dual springs since your upgrading the cam. the dual ford racing springs will work great. what exactly are you building this car for, street, street/strip or drag?

street/strip just to get started at somw point i will put gt 40 heads on but not yet to much money. but just looking to build up the valve train a little bit. so this is my list

ford racing 1.7 roller rockers
e303 cam
ford racing push rods
ford racing dual springs

should i just leave the valves or get new ones?

i don't think the stock e7 truck heads have guide plates so i am stuck with just reg pushrods right?

i sent you a link to summit for a set of ford racing pushrods, there really good rods. the stock valves are ok as long as there in good shape. what kind of gt40 heads are you looking to get? when i rebuilt my block i bought a new set of aluminum gt40 tubo swirls and they are the most kickass heads. but if your talking about a cast iron set then you can get a good set for about 500 bucks. well just let me know if you have any more questions let me know, im always happy to help a fellow stanger. good luck, codmac
