I was happy that it was pretty much right on at straight up, for some reason I had it in my head that I would have to mess with moving the chain set or even buying offset keys.

I also bolted on my KRE heads and measured my pushrod length (9.050) and ordered up a set of those as well. Things are starting to come together!!
Interesting. Ive got same cam heads and rocker arms and i came up with the exact same pushrod length! I got my smith bros pushrods through Butler fwiw
