I dont know what kind of rockers you will need since there are a ton of companys that make good rockers, and I dont know about the pushrod length, I guess that could depend on the rockers, but for the lifters just get a set of stock replacement hydrolic roller tappets from ford, they are like $100 and will work fine.

for rockers any good name should work fine. comp, crane, scorpion, harland sharp will do great. for pushrod length, you will need to get a set of adj. pushrods, cost like $15 or so. for the springs, if you are gonna get the AFR's, just go ahead and get that spring upgrade they have or whatever.

you won't know what length you need until you check it with the adjustable pushrods. then you order your pushrods once you have the CORRECT length for your application.
