i would go ahead and put chromoly pushrods in springs depend on the cam but i wouldnt run doubles unless i had too
also i would go ahead and put solid rocker shaft and make sure to put in new lifters with new cam
i used scat lube-a-lobe lifters in my 1915 a little pricey but no problems so far and been run for 4 or 5 year now

What place makes the vz cam? I am thinking I am goin to go with this one. Seems to sute me more..
Also on my heads will the stock ones work? Yes I kno I need them cut for the jugs but do I need bigger valves? I am goin to do some porting on them will this be anuff? Im runing low on cash. Also do I really need the aftermarket pullys? and about the cam gear? Sorry for so many qustions I just want to be 100% on what I need befor I spend 1000+ on buliding this and get it togeather and need something eles.

stock heads will work fine,in my opinoin i would go with a engle 110,around here 2275s run engle 110;;;my 2180 has got a 4063 bugpack cam and it does pretty good,but when i go back in it,it will have a 110 cam and straight cut gears

engle makes both the w110 and the vz15
also make sure that you dont cut all the way through while porting those heads i think there are some thin spots already

I am with both of them on the 1915. An Engle 110 cam is a great all around cam. An Engle VZ 14 or 15 came will make it pull harder. All thes cams need dual valve springs and heavy duty retainers.

I want to talk about the heads as this is where the real power is made. The heads need to have very fast intake and exhaust port velocity as opposed to massive CFM. Without high port velocity at low valve lifts drivability (torque) suffers. Not getting the heads built for the cam, carb, engine size and type of driving can cost a lot of driveability and HP. If you do your own heads search cal-look, shoptalkforums, thesamba .coms etc for tips on where not to remove material.

A good example is my prevoius version of my 2180 with a single 32NDIX carb and 7.8 to 1 compression and only two 24 mm venturies it ran 15.5 in the 1/4 mile and feared no hill.

Stroking an engine adds more torque but requires more attention to detail.
