normal 78-newer stamped steel rocker arms and standard length pushrods will work if you have a cam thats stock, or with a stock sized base circle. you can use a stud conversion kit if you want to run normal roller rockers, or you can get pedestal style rollers that bolt directly onto the heads. personally, i recommend the stud conversion kit so you can reuse your rockers later if you get aftermarket heads

get the rocker arm stud conversion kit, im too lazy to look it up in summit but its less than 100 bucks, then grab some roller rockers and some standard length hardened pushrods.

btw, you know you need stiffer springs with that cam right?

Your gonna have to get a pushrod length checker to know what pushrods you need. I needed ones that were .020 shorter then stock with my p heads.

I couldn't find a pushrod length checker that came shorter then 7.5" long and just made my own out of 2 pushrods and measured with a micrometer.
