440 roller rockers

Ive got a 73 440 with stock heads and a mild cam. Whose roller rockers should I use or do I even need them? What should I look out for when I install them?

With a mild cam, I would not go to the expense. The stock rockers, if you are running hydraulic, are really pretty strong. I've run 383, 440, and 340 HARD on the street with stock rockers. My 340, last I ran it, was in my old Lancruiser with a solid lifter cam. I used a set of stock (adjustable) 273 arms on that, and it routinely saw 7K climbing sand hills. That's when someone was actually watching the tach
