4. Nothing wrong with over building. I dont know how Johnson is today but they were on back order for a long time.
You should give Ted Jannetty a call or GPI. Or at least email them. Those people have been in the game a LONG time and do this stuff for a living. Will have great suggestions

Great advice here! All the items I used in my build came from BTR,( Brian Tooley Racing) and TSP, (Texas Speed and Performance). The cam was a TSP piece, the pushrods, retainers and locks, valve springs were all BTR pieces, they came as a kit from them. We went with the steel retainers and locks due to strength and longevity, titanium were lighter and could be used for their lightness for higher revs, but not necessary. As mentioned on the stall converter, you will want a higher than 3200 for that big cam, like mentioned at least a 3600-3800, or even higher if you want. Like one of our great members on here that really knew his stuff on these cars, "don't fear the stall"! I trust him and his builds, and his knowledge, so I went with the 4200-4500, all good! Love it. BO WHITE was his member name, great guy!!Thanks BO!! And as for the Johnson lifters, you WILL have to make sure to measure for the needed pushrod length as they are shorter than the normal size lifters we use. And as Dreams mentioned, those two shops really know their stuff, you can't go wrong with either one!!
