Worth it to build my 273?

Shane65 said
Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum, and i'm in the process of fixing up a 65 barracuda. Seems like most people swap in a 340 or 360, but I'm curious what I can do with the 273, if it's worth it...

My goal is to have a fast street car that I occasionally take to the track. High 12's would be plenty quick for me, I'm not trying to break any records. Is this possible in an all motor 273?

Anyone have links to 273 builds, or videos?

I'd say it depends what you want to spend and/or how important it is for you to do 12's. Also, is it absolutely necessary to be all motor? How about a slightly warmed-over 360 and this....(there's a carburetor in that box)
