Looking to do a 410 or 422 cam in my 4.0. I noticed comp cams says I need different valve springs. Iv also heard I need longer push rods. Anyone know where I can get said springs and push rods? Has anyone done this before? Thanks

Just did this to my rig. Used a 410 cam. Didn't use different springs just got new stock springs. U need 5.550" overall length pushrods with 5/16" diameter tube, 3/16" ball ends closed. Call smith bros pushrods give them those specs I got all 12 shipped for under $100.

Same pushrods for the 422 cam, u need procomp 988 dual springs and a machine shop to get them to fit on the heads.

when you say getting the springs to fit on the head what are you referring to?

The aftermarket performance springs that he mentioned won't fit a stock head. You have to get the spring seats on the head machined so that they will fit.
