difference between 1.7RR BBC and 1.7RR SBC??

What is the difference between 1.7RR from Big Block and 1.7RR from Small Block? Are those interchangeable???
Thanks

I wouldn't imagine they were interchangable, and the sbc ones are probably cheaper anyways.

I'm sure the SBC rockers are much physically smaller

Correct! Ratio is the same, but the physical length is greater, for the BBC rocker.
Which means, the longer distance, from the pivot to the valve tip, will improve the geometry, of the rocker, through it's travel.
