So I picked up a 1967 273 that now has a hydraulic cam and original adjustable rocker. I know from experience that I suck at adjusting valves, so basically just want to set it and forget it. The cam is a mild Lunati. I have a set of stamped rockers and pushrods left over from a 360. Looking to find out if it will be a straight swap or if I need different length pushrods. Thanks!

None of us here can really answer that. To get it right, you're going to have to get a checking pushrod, adjust it correctly with the camshaft on the base circle of the lobe(s) you're checking and then measure the length.
 
I believe the 273 pushrods are ball/cup ends. To use stamped rocker arms it will require ball/ball ends. 65'
 
As long as those rockers are in good shape, keep what you have. I prefer a light preload...something in the .020/.040 range. Once set, you'll have many miles of trouble free driving.
