    65 Barracuda Factory Fan?!

    That’s what I thought. The 4 blade seemed very strange to me when the guy said it was factory 273 A/C.

    65 Barracuda Factory Fan?!

    I am in the process of swapping my 65 barracuda back to the factory 273 Commando engine and my car is a factory A/C car. My car did not have the fan with it when I acquired the car. I posted a few things on Facebook, but did not get many answers about what did the factory fan look like for a 273...

    exhaust woes ......1973 340 into a 1965 barracuda

    I am running the TTI headers on my 360 65 Cuda. If I could go back to before I dropped the $800 on them I would just run the stock 273 manifolds. The TTI are nice, but really make it a pain the work on anything located on the drivers side of the car. I am actually in the process of building a...

    273 Commando Engine Build

    That’s why I wanna be able to run 87. Who knows what small Tennessee town I will be in and need to fill up.

    273 Commando Engine Build

    Does 9.6/1 require the 93? I was thinking I’d try and build it to run 87 octane.

    273 Commando Engine Build

    Do you run the flat top 2 barrel pistons to lower the compression ratio? I have changed plans for the build a bit. I am putting Power Steering & A/C into my car and it will be a family cruiser and possibly a daily driver if the build goes well. I am not as concerned with power as I am with...

    65 Commando VS 67 Commando

    I am considering reaching out to her to do my valve covers.

    65 Commando VS 67 Commando

    It’s all good! I appreciate the close ups and measurements. Did you restore your covers yourself?

    65 Commando VS 67 Commando

    The only reason I’d like to mess with the idea of casting new ones is to have the ability to make another set later on. If it works well I might even consider selling the cast fins for others to use.

    Do you think you could measure the aluminum fins on your 65/66 valve covers?

    65 Commando VS 67 Commando

    Are the 65/66 273 non-commando covers the same as the commando ones ? I was thinking about trying to create a set of 65/66 commando covers by making casts of the aluminum fins and adding them to plain 273 covers.

    65 Commando VS 67 Commando

    Did the 65/66 and 67 all use the same style of breather that featured the chrome “oil/oil” in two different directions ?
