Judging by the head gasket I would say they are the stock gaskets and that no one ever had the heads off. With that in mind I would say just a cam upgrade.. Even the springs are stock. are you doing any piston or head work.. Might want to, seeing your that deep...

S&S quicky pushrods are 3 full turns for .100 and 4 full turns for .125 I set them at .125 with any lifter that isn't stock
stock is fine ( .100 ) if your keeping it off the rev limiter or in the 5000 rpm range and lower anything higher go the .125
you can if you have a dial caliper...set the caliper to say .100, then take the adjustable end of the pushrod and set it tight , then adjust it out to till you reach the .100 ( or .125) and count the flats it takes to get there.

I was wondering how I could work this out, I was thinking about doing it the way you described but then dismissed it thinking...nah thats to simple lol. Sometimes the old K.I.S. Methods works.

After a lot of time waiting on parts and trying to find the time....she is alive.
New cam bearing, top end gasket kit and nice new Mikuni carb.
Thanks to everyone that gave me help through this (little) fix up.
