i think with the cams you have mentioned with proper valve springs, retainers, lifters etc.
you should not have any problems with non adjustable valve train, as long as basic clearances are within specs. eg. valve height, pushrod length, rocker arm ratio etc.
always check piston/valve clearance

I built a motor for a friend over two years ago using the VooDoo cam that 385Hemi mentioned with non adjustable D3 heads. It has had the guts ran out of it, wide open ALL the time and never had one problem. I did take my time and found the correct pushrod length and used the correct springs.

hey guys, sorry to kinda hijack, but a freind is offering me a comp cam for $50
i have a stock 460. except a edelbrock intake manifold and a holley 750 dp. the 750 is actaully doing pretty good. doesnt seem too big
but anyway, this cam is for a boat engine..does it matter?
COMP Cams® - Cam Details
thats the link for the cam. do you think it will work ok? it says i need other springs...i can get those if you guys think it will be good. later planes are l&l fenderwell headers.
the 460 is swapped into a '79 f150 custom 4x4. i use it mainly for 4x4ing and some towing. thanks guys
