273 Rocker Arms

I've been reading on here about guy's using 273 rocker arms. Are they a good choice for a budget rocker arm? Would they be a good choice since they are 50+ year's old? I can understand it if you already have them. But if a person doesn't have them what would be the next best choice for a rocker arm? I've done a little research on stock mopar rocker arms and their ratio is all over the place from what I've been reading.


Think about this. When the W2 heads were released they used ductil iron rockers, not unlike the 273 rocker. Both are pretty much indestructible barring severe abuse.
