1.6 rockers on stock motor

I broke a rod in my 347. That motor was decked out but now im broke and need to put in a new motor. So im puttin in a used motor while i build up the stroker again. Im in the process of changing over parts to the new motor. I need to know if my 1.6 ford racing roller rockers will transfer over.The new 302 is completely stock. I didnt build my last motor(therefor i didnt do any of the installs) but money is tight this time around and need to get my car bakc on the road.

how did you break a rod? connecting rod or pushrod?
thats bad luck, and about the rockers it depends if they are pedestal mount or stud mount.
stock cylinder heads use pedestal mount rockers (bolt down) most aftermarket cylinder heads have stud mounted rockers, (studs in place of bolts, with a locking bolt on top)
