it wouldn't hurt. with a balanced and blueprinted engine you will be able to turn higher rpms without too many worries. but i really don't know if it will viberate

It will be a problem since the engine's Rotating Assy. was originally balanced with the I Beam's. The H Beams are a differen't weight (Heavier) so it probably will cause an inbalance and vibration. May want to get the Rotating Assy. rebalanced with H Beams. It would probably be a smart thing. As for fit the H Beam's should bolt right in since your engine is not a stroker. If it was a Stroker there would be more nothching required for the beefier rod.
