Hydraulic cam into 273?

My engine builder said he could install a hydraulic cam and lifter set-up and retain my adjustable rockers.........I'd never heard of this before, and he told me of a 440 they have set up like it........

Is there a BENEFIT to him installing it this way??

No hijack intended.......I think we're on the same wavelength here.......

Mainly the rockers are adjustable and stronger. No real biggie for most people. Most just want to bolt down the rocker shafts and not worry about adjustment. More RPM is available when adjusted correctly and you can account for the inevitable production tolerances.
