1.6 roller rocker arm ??

I have an 89 camaro RS and i swapped out the 305 for a 350 with a very mild cam. Like one step above factory. I put 1.5 roller tip rocker arms on and it runs fine. I am wondering if i can put 1.6 Full Roller rockers on without any problems such as changing push rods or clearance issues? O yea, I have the factory centerbolt heads on the 350. Help???

You should be able to use 1.6 rockers without running into problems, unless the lift becomes too much and you have valve guide clearance problems.
