350 rebuild help

Ok this might be a stupid qustion but here it is
I am rebuilding my 71 350. This is my plan.....
Flat top pistons
hooker headers
eldelbrock rpm intake
eldelbrock rpm cam
My qustion is. What does it mean with the 180 out timing on the intake.
Do I need adjustable pushrods with this cam?
if so how are they to install and set up?
thanks.

180° (dual plane) design treats a V8 as 2 V4s. In this case, the right side of the carb feeds Cylinders 2, 3, 5, and 8, and the left side feeds 1, 4, 6, and 7, in order to keep fuel/air velocity high, and preserve/enhance low and mid-range torque.

Looken good as usual, I will wait until your daughter asks when she is a teenager? Sits on you lap and asks that question. I have harder men they you fall to there knees, give her the keys, as she walks out the door heading for the local burger joint to show off her dads car with a couple of girls in the back set. You will be so proud your will build her one. Sucker?

On another note, I made an offer on the 48 did not get an answer so I left a message on the new member board if someone knows him please have him contact me so we can talk. I hope he calls. I would like to make that a daily driver along with a few others. See what you guys started. Now I am going to move back to small town America. build a shop build a house have 10 a acres to pile up Oldsmobiles. Gosh I am having fun again
