Ernie, I would imagine since the cam is not in the center of the block on a cammer, that pushrods would not be needed.

I can't remember off-hand, but I think the SOHC heads have rocker shafts and rocker arms like a regular FE. The shafts run parallel to the cam. I would like to know the answer to this myself....I know regular SOHC engines allow the cam lobe to push a follower which opens/closes the valve. However, since the cammer FE has rocker shafts, I can't really say how they work.....maybe the cam lobe itself lifts the rocker arm.
