I've have the Comp Cams chromemoly pushrods, which are really good for non-self aligning roller rockers. I don't know but it might be overkill on self-aligning ones though (althought it wouldn't hurt) - p/n 7940-16, ~$115. The CC306 is also a good cam for the LT1, as well as Comp Cams Pro Magnum roller rockers. I purchased the 7/16" non-self aligning ones and would recommend them (but you must buy GM guideplates and hardened pushrods if you go for these or any NSA rocker arms). Also, if you go for 7/16" over 3/8" you'll need new studs as well. These rockers are made of chromemoly, which is much stronger than aluminum. As far as springs, that would depend on your cam. The LT4 ones are cheap and decent, but I wouldn't recommend them with a hot cam. You would proabably want one with a dual spring. Good luck on your project
