Thanks for the advice all, and nice pics. The 273 has a crank from the 318 poly engines. To remedy the pilot hole difference when mating a 360 to the 4-speed, could a 318 poly crank also fit in a 360 ? Offset grinding for more cubes ? I'd like to have fun with a 360 in the car and use it as a daily driver before the time comes to tear it down and redo it. I'd also like to squeeze as much out of the 273 when redoing it. What are the options with crank grinding, compression, valve lift, etc. I'm not sure what to do with it yet as far as the engine. Also, the front frame rails are soft, and I'm debating replacing them or doing a straight axle conversion on the car. Restore it or go high performance ?
