GT40P heads with an E cam and 1.6s should work just fine on a stock bottom end as long as it's not an 86. You should always check piston to valve clearance but if you don't feel like it you should have no problems.
Yeah I think I'm going to try to purchase the heads (hopefully =X) in the next couple days. Would I need the 3/8's, or 7/16's stud for the 1.6 rollers?
what he means is that gt40 heads require pedestal mounted rockers, not stud. its just a differnt type of attachment to the head, rockers are made either stud or pedestal.

Pedestal mount refers to how the rockers attach to the head. All stock heads run pedestal mount style, that is a bolt goes through the top of the rocker down into the head. Many aftermarket heads are stud mount which is a bolt sticking up out of the head that the rocker goes onto and is then held in place by a nut.
