360 into 64

So the problem is still- should I use the 273 manifolds on the 360. Half of you say yeah, why the hell wouldn't you-just grind your head, the other half says It will choke it out and the gaskets won't hold. I would need headers because apparently the only other manifolds that fit are on a dakota that is impossible to find. I am confused as hell. I wouldn't mind using the 273 manifolds but dad would kick my *** if I started grinding an engine head. It's your thing if you start grinding your engine at home, I'm just saying I wouldn't grind mine. There are no cheap headers so maybe I should just think of something to do later. I didn't want to piss anyone off.


Thanks anyway
You could always just build a nice pair of 318 heads. Put some 1.88 valves in them and a little port work. That way the manifolds will fit and hold a gasket. You might lose a little flow at high RPM's but it should still see 6500 with the right cam.
