273 help!

340 would be the better option if you change although the 273 is now slouch. I have a 273 as a spare that has been in three different cars. Just don't swap it with a 318, that would be a waste of time IMO.

Good advice. Nothing wrong with a 273. They're fun little engines and except for the pistons they cost the same to build as most other small blocks.
