ppl whove put vortec heads on their L98....

yo, i had this post under tech/gneeral engine but noone wanted to answer it, so maybe you guys will.

Will the pushrods, lifters, and rockers from an iron headed 88 L98 fit the vortecs? Im planning on getting the sdpc vortecs with valve spring upgrade.

thanks

Everything should work including the push rods. You need to check for the correct puhrod length, buy a cheap pushrod length checker to verify the correct length. You should be able to buy a pushrod checker through Summit Racing or many other places.
