I'm in the process of freshening up the 273 hipo in my 65 Barracuda. I don't know the history of the motor, but the bottom end looks really good. I can't wait to fire it up.
I love those 65 barracudas .. that one is my favorite.
I have dougs headers coming next week and that is all i'm doing to the 273 .
going to try a smaller carb or put the original back on and jet her up.
I love that carter afb !
good luck with your project !
