I don't know about this. The book says Original configuration only (or words to that effect). Stud must be stud, pedestal must be pedestal, and so on...

The OP needs to ask tech before thinking about this.

i use the 877-16 lifters as well,shimming the rockers isn't hard to do just have a good dial indicator handy.

What year did the pedestal mount start? Were they on E5 heads?

My dad has an 83 street Mustang 5.0. It has pedestal mount.

Lol well that tells me Bruce bechelder's ruling and the rulebook ruling on this topic isn't worth the pdf it's printed on. The "head guys" are cutting the pedestal and putting nice beefy 7/16 screw in studs in with big valve springs so do whatever you want. Why are we wasting time with 5/16 pedestal bolts?

I have a letter from Bruce stating that on my 307 Olds I must use a pedistal rocker

Re: Rockers for stock Eliminator 5.0 SBF
 

I ran Kuntz motors for years in a 87 Mustang M/SA car that went 11.80's 12 years ago with 5/16 pedestal mount rockers and that was with stock stamped steel rockers before the roller rockers were legal and they worked just fine. just my $.02
