Do you know what the differance should be? Check out page 11 of Indy Cylinder Head ( pricelist) webpage and it lists a different part number for intake and exhaust rockers. Their kit says the rockers are for a TA style head. I tried to find the offset but I don't think its listed. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

My understanding from Indy is that these heads use the same rockers as big block SR heads. Since SR heads are designed to accept standard big block rockers it stands to reason that any standard replacement big block rocker should fit. Also standard big block rockers [ everything from stamped steel to aftermarket ]use equal offset. One saving grace if you can grind enough clearance is that with a hydraulic your spring pressures are probably modest and with such a short pushrod 5/16 should be more than sufficient

The pushrod hole is so far off, the tip of the pushrod can not even seat in the lifter and you can see how far off it is to the rocker. I think you are missing the intake rockers which have a greater offset Matt

There should not be a 3/8" gap between the rocker body & the hold down, I think you're missing some spacers. In that pic, I don't see what would be preventing the pushrod from going closer to the rocker adjuster, looks like it should have a fairly straight shot up through there to the adjuster, I'm guessing it is hitting the pushrods hole where it should be with a tall seat lifter which is not side to side clearance issue, it's fore/aft clearance. (intake face of head to exhaust side of head direction) & Yes as said before anyone who has ever tried to run the +400" taller hyd rollers with ANY type of LA head has to clearance the pushrod holes in the intake face/exhaust flange face direction.
