New cam, new rods?

[patboy]

Im thinking about putting a cam in the ol' 302 will it need new rods? im kinda thinking about replacing em' anyway, but if i dropped in a throaty cam and was trying to run it on pump gas would the rods be a necessity? got some new rockers already, and i know ill prob need new lifters, if i dont buy the cam and the lifters together. thanks for any input

What exactly are you trying to do

If you buy a new cam, buy new lifters also.. unless they are practically new.
I would also buy new hardened push rods. Don't mess with the bottom end.
