I'll just add, I did the head, cam, intake swap with just about 100K on my motor and I used the stock lifters and dont have any problems... though i went the TFS heads wich required longer pushrods, though I would have reused the stock ones if I could have... I got the heads and intake for 1000 bucks used but you spend countless amounts on little stuff... even just hose clamps cause I destroyed the stock ones trying to get the heater hoses off... not to mention the worm gear style are much better then the stock style.
most AFTERMARKET heads will be stud mount as for as rockers go and I think in most cases you'll need to cut out the baffle on teh passenger side valve cover to make any rocker fit 1.6 or 1.7
