It works fine on plenty of cars and will work for this setup as well.

Those will be fine. You can use your stock studs or upgrade to some ARP 3/8" studs. Also make sure your spring setup will allow for the SA rockers.

If you are going to run +.050 locks, and will probably be needed to get the correct installed heigth with those springs. You probably won't be able to use self-aligning rockers. There won't be enough valve stem for them to stay aligned.
