200 pushrods. If you want to do it right, get the checker pushrod from Summit. At midlift you want the contact area right in the center of the valve stem.
If you install a camshaft get all the specs from the grinder. Comp cams come 4 degrees advanced where most others are straight up. I would not advise the comp cam cause the design is 50 years old & performs poorly compared with the other grinds.
If it a stick shift i go with 2 deg. advance 4 deg with a C-4 for more low end.
I highly recommend Schneider Cams. Jerry is very knowledgeable on the Ford Six.
Last & not least, get rid of the junk stock ford valve springs. Yes that includes the 302 ones.
Go with a spring the has a damper inside the spring & use the spring the grinder recommends.
To sum it up do not use stock Ford valve springs & stay away from the Comp Cam. Unless the grind a more modern profile than what they list.
