Love the updates.
None of my business but the battery trays look like they could use some Ospho and POR paint while you can get to it.

So glad to see the engine is GRAY. Just another understatement of what a 460 (BBF in your case) can do. Understated gray, like a battleship. Congratulations, Keep'er going and Keep'em (pix) coming!

With the cam your running I would install some roller tip rockers from Comp. Cams. It would stop the side load on the valves and make your guides live a lot longer.
This is NOT a high RPM, high performance engine that needs special after market items.
After market roller tipped rockers have proven to be less reliable on high mileage 460s than OEM. Then there is the problem of getting the proper rocker are geometry with after market rockers.
After 138,000 on the heads, the valve guides are with in specs and the OEM rocker arms are going back on. No need to fix something that's not broke.
Go spend some time on 460Ford.com and you'll see why I'm doing the build the way I am.
Thanks for your concerm.
