Get the rocker studs and arp head bolts to go with the heads. You don't necessarily need the adjustable rocker arms that Edelbrock cautions. It really depends on the lifters you're using. I had a pushrod length issue with Crane rockers and while I was reconciling that, I used the stock non-adjustable rockers and they worked just fine. Anti-pump up lifter require a specific preload to work properly and that's where the adjustable rockers are preferred.

When you are ready to mount the intake, check the head's oil drainback holes to ensure that your intake gaskets don't obstruct the holes.

Understand that the exhaust bolt pattern uses either the 8-bolt pattern or the 16-bolt CJ pattern. It depends on which heads you get. The non-CJ unibody manifolds do not fit either head and you'll need to either use a CJ manifolds or headers.
