NO! Instead, check these out:

I've used them with the Z4 cam and 1.6/1.52 I/E rockers to 5500 rpm without issue. And they're far less money. Plus they don't come from China.

Re: New Cam...Help...
you must not put roller lifters on that non-roller cam. you must use new lifters, and in this case, the American made lifters really are better than the Chinese imports. Spending a bit more here really is worth it.

Re: New Cam...Help...
stock rockers are fine. If you want to upgrade, do it after you've broken in the cam and lifters.

Re: New Cam...Help...
If you dont have a roller cam, use "Hydraulic Lifters", I assume you dont have a solid lifter cam.
Yes, for a 350 SBC.
