Ok, I'm about to buy the last part for my motor. I now have everything, and all I need is a cam!

I know I've posted many things about this setup, but I want to make this work the first time and as good as it can be!

So, here's the setup:

1969 350, stock bore 2bolt main
Trick Flow Twisted Wedge G2 heads
Holley Stealth Ram
52mm throttle body
Summit 1.5 roller rockers
Hooker headers with 3" y-pipe and the 3" all the way back

This is the cam that was suggested: Comp cam with lifters CCA-CL12-268-4


Now, is that the best for my setup? What pushrods should I get? Thanks again!!

Comp Cams Xtreme Energy cam and lifter kits are built to take advantage of the latest cam technology, to provide maximum performance. Whether your use is off-roading, towing, or street performance, there is an Xtreme Energy cam and lifter kit available for you. By using an aggressive lobe profile, these cam kits provide better throttle response and more top-end horsepower than equivalent kits from other manufacturers, while delivering increased engine vacuum.

I think it should work fine.

You won't know what push rods you need until you can mock up the whole valve train on there. Given that those heads are notorious for requiring unusual push rods, the thing to do would be to order an adjustable push rod when you order the cam; install it; measure for the correct rocker geometry (see Comp's web site for instructions); and then order push rods based on your measurement.

Ahh ok, sounds like a plan. I think I'll let the engine shop do the ordering then!

The lifters that come in that cam kit will work fine with my block, correct? I'm not sure how all the sold/hydraulic things work.

Yes. You just use regular flat-tappet lifters, and a regular pre-"factory roller" timing set such as a 3100, and leave the retainer plate out.

There shouldn't be a retainer plate on a '69 350.

I hope not, because I don't know what that is

Well OK, so don't use one

Well, the heads came with Trick Flow pushrods, marked 7.900 .080

I don't know what that means, but I shouldn't reuse them anyway, right?
