If anyone is worried about high miles, just freshen up the top end while you're in there.
A set of springs and lifters won't be THAT much more. Hell get some stiffer springs so you can rev it up to 6500! (Ok, that might give you a reason to worry about miles)

So easy a cave man can do it, these rockers were a piece of cake to do took 3.5 hours and a couple of beers just waiting to take it out for a spin now I had a rusted bolt break off from the water pump and that is damping my time. But the hardest part of installing these were pulling the stupid plastic spark plug wire holders on the valve cover bolts that would not come off very easy

Nice job!
I am curious if the rockers cleared your stock valve covers without smashing them with a hammer.
