      yes i did also a 1/2 inch intake spacer for bigger valve covers because of the roller rocker arms. I'm going to grab a set of new pushrods as well from like napa or somthing as well as some new vacume lines well atleast to replace the broken ones i have...

      all i need now is the
      heads
      roller lifters
      roller rockers
      valve covers
      double roller timing set
      bored out lopo egr spacer

            What Lincolnmania said. You don't need the roller conversion kit - you already have all the parts you need to use the E5 or E8 camshafts. Roller lifter tappets only need to be replaced if the rollers don't move freely, and the retaining bits don't have moving parts. I actually still have a $100 set of brand-new Summit roller lifters still sitting in their boxes because whilst swapping cams I determined I didn't need them.

            I'd also hold off on getting new pushrods and get a length-checking pushrod instead. Wouldn't want you to end up in the situation I have with my 306 and discover after the engine's assembled that you should have gotten rods that are slightly longer. Also, pushrods' only real wear point on a roller motor is at the tip where they contact the rocker arm, so they're usually reusable if the length is still correct.

            Are you getting pedestal-mount roller rockers or adjustable rockers with a stud kit?

              I hope you misspoke and said lifters instead of rockers ... the lifters live in the valley under the intake manifold and contact the camshaft directly. The only moving parts you see with just the valvecovers off are the pushrods, rockers, and valves.

                      The speed sensor is there if you have cruise. Its probably not your problem tho. I had the same crap, it was dirty contacts on the steering wheel slip ring. Scotchbrite on the contacts, contact cleaner in the switches and all is well. Steering wheel needs to come off for this.

                        i probably missed it i didn't bring a flashlight with me when i was under there...i'll keep that in mind although i don't use cruse control all that much anyways. i do have 2 odd little electrical problems with my car....

                        1.) my blickers can stop working but if i turn my hazzard lights on 4 a few blicks the signals work just fine...the flasher unit and the turn signal switch in the steering colum are both brand new like in feb this year... so im not exacly sure what is wrong...

                        2.) ever sence i replaced my 4 prong fuel relay with the 5 prong one i got from auto zone my car randomly stalls it startz up again with holding the starter on for a good 15 Mississippi count there is no pattern other than it does it when im slowing down or @ an idoal...it might do it once a day or once every week...its weird...im thinking take the relay out pray the relay with wd-40/brake cleaner/penetrating oil or something and spray the crap out of the connector...
