What type of roller rockers?
I am looking on Ebay for some roller rockers. What type can I use? I see many for the sbc but will they work on the LT1 or what? The heads have Rocker Arm Nut Thread Size: 3/8-24 in.

Pick up the narrow bodied Comp Pro Magnums or the Crane Gold rockers. Most supporting vendors carry LT1-specific rockers. Stock studs are 3/8" - I would upgrade to 7/16" studs while you're in there. It's cheap insurance.

Where do I get the 7/16 studs? Do I need different push rods then the old ones in the car right now?

If you buy non self aligning rockers, which most if not all 7/16" rockers are, you will have to run hardened pushrods and guideplates. TrickFlow makes a decent priced Chromoly pushrod and cheap $ guideplates. You can pick up the pushrods/guideplates/ARP rocker studs at Summit or Jegs.

Stay away from "Ebay" roller rockers. Contact one of the supporting vendors, and they should be able to get you everything you need. (I've personaly had good deals with Herron Performance)
FYI: You will need to check your pushrod legnth and most likely get new pushrods. According to your sig your running the stock cam and springs, if that is the case you'll need new springs if you go with the 1.6 ratio rockers.
