327/350hp rebuild..would you use roller rockers?

[Sams '66]

Or even a roller cam? Do they work better? i.e. more efficient?
The car and engine is ALL stock...but in need of a rebuild. Any opinions?
I have heard that the engine will just plain run better with less wear.



Thanks....

Sam

Roller rockers aren't necessary on a basically stock rebuild, and won't fit under stock valve covers; roller-TIP rockers (like CC Magnums) will fit under stock covers, but you'd be hard-pressed to tell any power difference. The "151" L-79 cam will work just fine with stock pushrods, rockers, and springs, and will be bulletproof.
