It would work. I would feel unsafe with stock stamped rockers and that lift some guys have found the slots to be short and bottom out on the stud potentially snapping them, other don't. The springs are 100% required.

almost positve you'll need new springs and all the other valvetrain parts to go with them. I think crane has a cheap kit you can buy, or the hotcam kit if that will work for your lift. Tell him to check that out instead of that cam even.

Should be fine as a DD, dunno about autos though so don't know if you'll need a stall or gears for it.
