The cam has been on another car. Nothing wronk with it. Does that change anything? Are the lifters supposed to come with the cam?

You can get new lifters...  But it recommended that they break in at the same time (kind of like ring and pinions)

So from wqhat I read. While doing the camshaft, I should also do the springs, retained, lifters and pushrods?

really any reputable place is good.  most of them keep the same parts. mainly dig up exactly what set up you want to run get all the part numbers then find the cheapest people to go with. if you order online check for shipping prices as well and you can also ask if they will ship basic  mail. not as fast but can save you a bundle if your not in a hurry to get it..

Best would be if anyone could tell me what to buy since I dont know what would be the right thing. Can you do that?

we already told you the part numbers, did you read all the replies? (i gave you the lifters and pushrods and the link where to get them cheap from and Bounty listed the springs and retainers i believe) - anything else needed?

i can order them for you if you want, just PM me your credit card number :lol:
