As was said earlier, lots of variables here. You could run either hyrdaulic lifters or solids. Either type can also be had in flat tappet or roller.

Pistons: You looking at forged pistons or hyperutectic? Stay with flat top pistons as the flame travel across the piston tops will result in a better burn than a dome piston. You can still get a high compression ratio with a flat top piston, you just need a smaller chamber in the heads.

Pushrods will have to be measured for length after engine assemby due to block deck height, heads, head gasket thickness, etc. To get the correct rocker geometry,they can not be ordered until engine is assembled!

We are trying to help, we just need a bit more info. Your budget is differant than my budget. Your idea of a *street engine* may be differant than mine. You wanting a st eng than you can cruise for several hundreds of miles at a time or a street bruiser that will only see nightly use and parked in the garage when you go to work.
