I have a supercharged gtp and I. Replaced the heads now I'm ready to install the push rods and roker arms. I'm wondering if there's. A special order to put them back in. And also do I need to rotate the motor when doing so... can anyone help me out!!!

Bolts are TTY for the rockers.
One would prefer to put the lifters back in the same hole they came out of.
Push rods I'm not 100% sure.

I've always reused rocker bolts, never had a problem. doesn't matter on the pushrods.

You definatly do not want to re-use rocker bolts, unless you purchased the reusable ones, and you should always put the lifter, pushrod and rocker back in the same spot they came from, they develop wear patterns and it is best if you put them back into their original locations. Also while you have this all apart it may be a good time to uprage to 1.9 rockers and lightweight pushrods.

Thanks everyone but when I do install the push rod should the motor be at dead top center on the number 1 cylinder.

Theoretically you don't want to resuse the bolts (any mechanic would reuse and has.)
On the TDC, it's ideal to torque when each cylinder is TDC. Most don't, I don't... I do torque..rotate the motor some, torque..rotate, torque.. In the end..it comes to about the same.
