push rod swap from 882 heads to 083's ??

This is probly a no brainer for some of you guys but..... can i use the same push rods while swapping the above heads ?? A friend is giving me 1.5 roller tip rockers to replace the stock rocker arms. Does anyone forsee a problem with this matchup ??? Would like to use the stock push rods to help keep cost down.

Push rods

Just make sure your 083's have a slot for the push rods and not a hole. With a hole you will need self-aligning rockers.
