stock rockers with modified heads
Will i have any problems using the stock rocker arms with vortec heads that have been equipped with springs that are 135 lbs of pressure at the seat and 330 pounds of open pressure? They also have screw in studs.

If the stock rockers are from 1985, the answer is "Yes".
'87-earlier factory rockers are non-self-aligning, 1988-up (including Vortec) are self-aligning.
