Head/Cam/Lifter swap - pushrod length question
So I had a cam, lifters, push rods, roller rockers, and cam installed on my 180K stock engine. Subsequently I blew it up showing a mustang what my tail lights looked like. I bought another engine with 83K on it. If I swap lifters, cam, heads, rockers and all will the push rods still be the right length and the valve geometry still be correct?

about an 1/16" of slop in the rod bearing. It was kinda weird the the way it went down. I was cruising down the highway about 70mph, this mustang rolls up next to me and revs. I just drop my car from OD to D and floor it. Poor mustang was left sittin. I lifted as my spedo was indicating 130 and when I lifted the engine stalled. I put it in neutral and tried to get it to start. 4 or 5 tries it finally lights up again but this time its knockin.
