Default transfering rockerarm and pushrod to 6.0?

The 6.0 I have for my swap is out of an 03 SS Silverado. It doesnt have rockerarms or pushrods but it does have comp 918 springs with a comp cam, the specs are 220/226 556/570 114+4. Through the search tool and previous inquiries, I have learned that all accessories and intake will swap over, but can I transfer the rockerarm assembly and pushrods from the 4.8 to the 6.0 with those modification just to get it up and running until I can afford some performance ones?
Thanks

Thanks, and yes I was looking at the VHP accellerated lift roller rocker kit which comes with chrome molly pushrods and had called them up today. When I gave them the specs of the cam they werent sure about piston to valve clearance issues and said they would call me back but didnt get a call today. If I just purchase some pushrods, do I get the same size as the stockers, what size would you recommend?
Thanks

You will be fine on p to v clearance with those rockers there are guys running much larger cams in an LQ9 with no problems.

i'm no expert but i'm pretty sure the stock length (7.4") pushrods should work with that cam.
who to buy from? i'd suggest a sponsor to the ---> sdpc2000.com. that's where i got mine from. cool deal on the m.o. also, thanks. now i need to find a box real quick...
