Vortec Head question.

What do I need to run a set of vortec heads on my car? I know I need the intake but can I reuse my push rods and rocker arms? I know I will loose alittle compression but I dont care these will eventually be going on a 350. My main question is what in the valve train will need to be changed and with what? I will be running a lt1 cam for now so i dont think i should have a problem even tho the vortecs dont take much lift.

you can reuse rocker arms as long as they are self-aligning
