The difference in the rockers related to the valve covers. The center bolt valve cover require a narrower rocker arm than the earlier perimeter style, because the bolts are between the rockers. The perimeter valve cover allow more room for the rockers since bolts are on the edges. Non self aligning rockers require hardened guide plates and push rods.

You may have to drill out the inside of the valve covers to make them fit perfectly without tapping against it.
