Default What about this setup?

i have a 78 Vette, took the stock block bored .030 over, stock rods and crank, new zollner pistons, new comp roller cam, roller lifters, roller rockers, stock heads, new springs, edelbrock #2101 alum. intake, edelbrock 600 cfm electric choke carb, proform dist. w 50,000 volt in-cap coil, new oil pump,
i was wondering 1st what kinda power should i b making? 2. where can i find the tranny(auto) lines going to the radiator. 3. how do i set the lash on the rockers, the lifters have springs to pump the oil up on the rockers, i ahve heard tons of ways to set them and was wondering what is the "right" or "best" way to set them
Thanks
-Johno

The cam specs are needed to make any quess as to how much power you can expect. The stock heads will make it hard fo you to see much more than 300HP. You can get the trans cooling lines from most of the suppliers or you can get brake lines from a local parts store and bend them yourself.
