Based on the information you gave you will get zero help. Try slowing down and think about what your asking. How will you get solid advice without saying what the goals are for the truck ?

Sounds like youve got a good list started. Girdle opinions vary 850 you would be fine without one but 1000hp and up definately wouldnt hurt im running one in my build but im not running billet main caps just main studs and girdle. Most people use a stock oil pump and any of these merchant/socal/wagler/hamilton for pushrods. For bearings use Clevite H. And maybe get some arp rocker bolts or studs. I dont see Head studs on your list but im sure you know you need those.

Thanks for the info. I heard something about wall thickness on the pushrods?
I have the bearings and studs. But not rocker bolts

i think most of the standard upgraded push rods are around .080 or so for wall thickness. And you can get them for around 300$ depending on company. You can get thicker ones but they get up there in price closer to 500 to 600 from what ive seen. I see alot of merchant push rods in people sigs so they must be pretty good.
