Default Lifter,rocker question

i have been in the process of rebuilding my 87. I have a comp cam
08 300 08 roller rocker cam. My question, does that cam require
roller lifters. What kind or part number pushrods and rockers.

Sorry, never built one of these engines before and the jargon is
somewhat new to me.

If you are staying stock then rockers need to be " self aligning " style
Pushrods need to be 7.200" long

87s had 128 heads. No SA rockers. Just plain old SBC rockers.
