I have run these on mine with .649 lift turning it 6500 rpm in my Ranger with no problems comp cams make some good push rods but most name brand push rods would work

I ran the trick flow push rod when I was running this setup and all of it will be going back in the engine when I pull the heads and go back to the dove heads on my 460 when it goes in my 69 f100

Just kinda curious ... what type stock rockers did you have on CJ ALUMINUM heads...?
There are several types and early Cleveland rockers or Boss 302's were used quite a bit years ago...
I would use the FRPP offerings.

I,VE NEVER RUN THE FRPP CJ HEADS THERE N.O.S. I TOOK THE DOVE -C'S OFF. I MAINLY WANTED TO TAKE SOME WEIGHT OFF THE BACK OF MY BOAT.

Crane gold or Ford Racing (same piece) for best, easiest geometry for the money IMO!
