Hope I'm in the right spot. Few engine questions.

Pushrods are still needed with the roller cams unless you get a torque cam. Then maybe it won't need pushrods, but its not for sure until it gets ground. I have 1 here that still needs pushrods. For gaskets, i use the felpro gaskets with the T at the end. Those are the better gaskets but you still have to torque them down in the correct order and to spec, with loctite on the threads to keep them from backing out (lower intake bolts).

If the ones with the "T" at the end are the ones with a steel body (as opposed to plastic) then I agree, they are definitely the ones to go with.

Also don't forget about the o-ring for the oil pump drive. I've found that the brown o-rings hold up much better than the black ones. I don't recall which material type either of those are, but I use the brown ones.
