Any gains adding 1.6 rockers to stock 273?

Ok then why the heck did you even come and ask? You've got your mind already made up. When you spend 300 bucks and there's not one single detectible change, I'm sure you'll come on here bragging about how it has 500HP. We're just trying to save you 300 bucks for basically nothing. Go for it. You've made your mind up.

Had a friend once asked me, " I just installed chrome valve covers and chrome air cleaner, what else can I do to make it faster?". I would look for a 318 forged crank and you will be good to go. A 360 you will need a few more items, as the balanced converter and different motor mount (one). 4-Bbl intake and headers would be a must for me on any of the motors. Skip the 1.6 rockers for now, unless you are ready to speed the "BIG" bucks for the complete package.
