360 build Ideas

I think I'll just keep the stock cid for budgetary reasons. I do want to start upgrading something though as having the short block completely done, will cost me about 1800 so I got about 700 ish that I can play with. So I was thinking of getting these Hughes roller rockers to start on my upgrading process and a Lunati 60403 cam. I know I need to upgrade the springs, I'll have the shop do that as well. What about valve seats or guides or whatever the rockers hit against at full lift? Anything special I should know about doing this?

If you're that limited on budget, I would leave the roller rockers for later. Get all the machine work done and figured out first, as it can be costly. You'll regret buying roller rockers now and coming up short on machine work later. The stock rocker train WILL work with that camshaft. Granted, adjustable rollers are nice, but not necessary at your level. Just food for thought.
