Another DOVE head ?

I have a 79 460 and want to put on DOVE heads. What do I need to make it work.As I understand it the only thing I need to change out are the push rods,because of the lenght.Is this right and is there anything else I need to change out to make it work?
Thanks.

Unless I'm mistaken you'll need adjustable rockers too. The D2VE and later heads had pedestal mount rockers.
