083 heads onto non roller Gen1?

I'm restoring an '81 camaro. It has a Goodwrench 250, but the intake gasket is bad so in addition to replacing the gasket, I have these good 083 heads laying around, so can I swap them in and get by with the Goodwrench's rocker/lifter/push rod setup?

Use the self centering rocker arms on the 083s and the 7.8 pushrods.
