shouldnt be a problem as long as the pushrod length is right for your cam.

If this is a Comp Cam XE-R 224/228 .581/.588 114 LSA then if you do not mill the heads and use stock size gasket then I would recommend 7.425 push rods. Now if replacement lifters are LS7 then 7.400 will be fine.

Yea, LSX lifters seem to be MUCH more stout then LT1 stuff, but since in almost everycase the rockers being non adjustible, pushrod length is MUCH more important then before.
