L98 with vortec heads question
I have a 91 l98 I want to install a mini ram and vortec heads. Can I use stock lifters,push tubes and rockers from the l98? If not what needs to be changed to install vortec heads?

Should beable to but should measure pushrods to be sure of length. If using a different cam then definitely measure pushrods
