OE rockers

I have a 91 Z 350 TPI that has Crane roller rockers. Stock everything else. I am building a 400 sbc with aluminum heads. I would like to put the 350 Crane rockers on the 400 and then put some used OE rockers on the 350. I will be driving the 350 for several months before the swap. Is putting used OE rockers on the 350 a bad idea or is it ok? Will it cause the push rods to wear out prematurely? Or any other problems?

Ahh. Sometimes the obvious isn't so obvious. New rockers are on the way. Thank you.
