273 Commando with roller camshaft

superstock64polara said
Has anyone built a 273 Commando or other mild 273 mill, with either a hydraulic or solid roller stick?
Is there any real benefit to a roller stick in such a small V8?

Hypothetical A Body 273 build to base this discussion on:

273 block bored 0.030" with a zero-deck flat-top piston (9.5:1 SCR)
Mopar 920 heads with bowl work & port match
Roller stick to be discussed??
Edelbrock Performer intake
Holley 600 vac sec or Edelbrock 600 carb
Doug's headers 1-5/8" primaries

4-speed
8-3/4 sure-grip 3.23 rear

I'd look at a custom Racer Brown solid flat tappet cam. That kind of power can be made with stock 2 barrel pistons, factory Commando intake and carb, and an Isky E-4 cam. Nothing to go wrong with a solid flat tappet cam, adjust the valves every 100,000 miles once broke in.
