Are the push rods different then what came in the vortec engine then what came in our engines? If they are different, which ones should i use with my motor? (vortec heads on a 75 350)

I put Vortec heads on my 350 crate motor and used the same push rods.

You can use the same pushrods.

yeah, sure what they said. What intake did you want to run. I have a Vortec Performer intake that I need to sell. I am going with the Performer RPM Air Gap intake now. Let me know if you are interested.

What intake and head gaskets should be used?

use the regular Vortec head intake gaskets. Then pick out an Edelbrock intake. Performer, Performer RPM, Performer RPM Air Gap. Depends on where you use your power.
