Cast 273 rockers or factory steel rockers budget 360?

The advantage is a better rocker & less flex with a more accurate ratio and a longer service life potential with bigger cams.

The OE stamped rockers are notorious for having less than a 1.5 ratio. With stiffer springs they tend to wear out in the pushrods cup area. They are fine for low lift mild spring cams.

Thanks Rob. I guess I worded what I wrote kinda wrong...lol. I should have put that if I was running a hydraulic cam small enough to need nothing more than a stock J converter, the stock stamped rockers should be good. Personally, if I was gonna step up from those...it would be straight to good, reputable roller rockers and be done with it. :)
